ROME, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman signed an energy research agreement with Italian Minister of Economic Development Pier Luigi Bersani.
The two reached an agreement at the 20th World Energy Congress Ministerial Forum where Italy joined the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership.
"By becoming a member of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, Italy is joining a growing group of nations committed to developing solutions to power a clean, safe and reliable energy future," Bodman said.
Bodman highlighted the importance of investment in a diversity of energy supplies and technologies to meet growing global demand for energy.
"To increase global energy security, producing and consuming nations alike must make robust investments in a diversity of energy sources, accelerate efforts to increase energy efficiency, and rapidly deploy advanced clean energy technologies to meet growing energy demand and sustain economic growth," he said.
The agreement between Italy and the United States builds on current bilateral energy efforts between the nations to advance nuclear technology, increase research and development in carbon sequestration, and promote greater energy efficiency through advanced technology.
