Green Tech Egypt and Renergy Group Partners attended the two-week COP27 Climate Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh. At their Green Zone booth, they presented Egypt’s first waste-to-energy plant in Abu Rawash, Giza Governorate. The project is being developed by a consortium comprising Green Tech Egypt, Egypt’s Ministry of Military Production (MOMP) and OAK Holding of Bahrain. The team advocated a faster energy transition and stronger development of the waste-management sector.
Waste and energy technologies
Alongside municipal solid waste-to-energy solutions, the team presented High-Temperature Pyrolysis (HTP) as the best way to process refuse-derived fuel (RDF), medical waste, agricultural waste, sewage waste, industrial waste and tyres into clean energy. Its high operating temperature enables a more complete chemical breakdown of feedstock, reducing tars and improving yield and emissions.
The booth also featured development work on a 20 GW green hydrogen plant in Egypt. Green Tech Egypt had worked on the multi-billion USD project for four years as a large-scale contribution to the energy transition.
Atmospheric water generation
The booth was shared with the Science and Technology Center of Excellence (STCE), the Ministry of Military Production’s main research centre. STCE presented an atmospheric water generator (AWG) from the Japanese company Mizuha. The machine condenses moisture from the air to produce water. STCE and MOMP signed an agreement with Mizuha to manufacture the devices in Egypt.
Visitors included climate-adaptation and mitigation specialists from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Japan, Nigeria, the UAE, the UK, the USA, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, connecting industries and sectors around the climate challenge.
