The shift from fossil fuels like oil and natural gas toward green hydrogen has gained momentum in recent years. This transition is a complex process, but it can potentially transform the energy sector profoundly by cutting the majority of our CO2 emissions, which are energy-related due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation.
Egypt has a substantial renewable energy potential, giving Egypt a unique advantage in producing green hydrogen. By capitalising on its renewable energy resources, Egypt can produce green hydrogen at competitive costs, positioning itself as a leader in the global hydrogen economy. This supports reducing carbon emissions and contributes to economic growth in Egypt, becoming the front runner in energy supply in the region in a changing energy landscape.
Renery Group Partners is developing the first mega-scale Green Hydrogen Plant with a 15 GW capacity close to El Tor, South Sinai. This ambitious undertaking presents a unique opportunity for Egypt to emerge as a major hydrogen exporter to Europe. The Mega-Scale Hydrogen Plant will operate entirely off-grid, relying on 100% solar energy. It will maintain continuous hydrogen production 24/7, resulting in an annual output of 450,000 tons. In Egypt, it will boost the technology and labour sectors by creating thousands of (highly skilled engineering) jobs and bringing the latest top-notch hydrogen technology and world-scale renewable energy power plants.
