Renergy Group Partners held a public consultation session to discuss and define the scope of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Study for constructing the world’s first and largest Green Hydrogen Production Plant in Tor, South Sinai.
The session took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, with the attendance of representatives from Renergy Group Partners (the project developer) and EcoConServ (the company conducting the ESIA study), as well as key leaders from South Sinai Governorate, the Ministry of Military Production, the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) under the Ministry of Environment, alongside tribal sheikhs and elders from across the governorate, civil society organizations, and a number of environmental and energy experts, along with specialists from other related fields.
Dr. Khaled Mubarak, Governor of South Sinai, participated in the session via video conference, emphasizing the national and strategic importance of the project for the Arab Republic of Egypt, positioning the country at the forefront of the global green hydrogen map. He also highlighted the project’s particular importance to South Sinai, as it contributes to creating a new environment and job opportunities for local residents and supports the governorate’s comprehensive development.
This project represents a significant transformation that will strengthen Egypt’s and South Sinai’s role as a regional and international hub for new and renewable energy, utilizing solar and water power to produce green hydrogen and generate electricity. The region’s unique natural characteristics—including high mountains, flat deserts, and access to both the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba—make it ideally suited to become the launch base for this ambitious national and international green hydrogen project.
The session addressed the project’s environmental and social aspects, proposed impact mechanisms, and potential adverse effects. It also explored the economic opportunities the project would bring to the local population. The project is estimated to create approximately 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, supporting economic development, improving living standards, and strengthening the local economy.
Participants emphasized the importance of continuing community consultation sessions throughout the different phases of the project to ensure transparency, knowledge exchange, and consideration of local community interests, aiming to balance development needs with environmental preservation.
Sheikh Ibrahim El-Gebaly, a prominent tribal leader in Sinai, stressed the project’s importance and the support of South Sinai residents, affirming their commitment to overcoming any obstacles during the feasibility study and actual implementation phases.
