G20 unable to reach consensus on joint communique

The G20 Energy Transition Working Group is facing challenges in reaching a consensus on the joint communique with clean hydrogen and the Russia-Ukraine war being the key sticking points.

Report informs via Economic Times that about 60% of the communique has been agreed upon, but negotiations are still continuing on whether the future of hydrogen should be green or clean, people aware of the development said.

The communique entails a paragraph that states to deplore the aggression by Russia against Ukraine, which is being opposed by Russian and Chinese representatives.
