Upon his arrival at the Presidential Terminal of the Abu Dhabi International Airport, Scholz was welcomed by Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, and various other officials. 

During the German Chancellor’s visit to the UAE, Germany and the UAE explored paths to advance cooperation to new heights in the energy, sustainability, and investment sectors. Germany and UAE’s leaders held a meeting. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade of the UAE, led the UAE's delegation to the roundtable meeting, while the German side was headed by Dr. Franziska Brantner, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany. Mohammad Ali Al Shurafa, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, attended the meeting along with officials from both sides.

The UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, and the German Chancellor also witnessed the signing of a new Energy Security and Industry Accelerator (ESIA) Agreement with the aim to accelerate projects of joint interest between the two countries in energy security, decarbonization, and climate action. 

The agreement between the two countries was signed by Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, UAE Climate Special Envoy, and Managing Director and Group CEO of the State-owned oil company of the UAE, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and Dr. Franziska Brantner, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

As part of the agreement, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has entered into an LNG (Liquefied natural gas) supply agreement with RWE AG (RWE). ADNOC will provide LNG cargo for delivery in late 2022, which will be used in the commissioning of Germany’s floating LNG import terminal at Brunsbüttel. ADNOC has also reserved a number of further LNG cargos exclusively for German customers in 2023.

During the meeting, it was also announced that ADNOC had completed the UAE’s first ever direct diesel delivery to Germany in September 2022, and also agreed on the terms with Wilhelm Hoyer GmbH & Co. KG (Hoyer) to supply up to 250,000 tons of diesel per month the next year.
