General Mohamed Salah, Minister of Military Production, met Mr Robert Valk, Founder and CEO of Green Tech Egypt and Renergy Group Partners, and Eslam Ramadan, Company Manager of Green Tech Egypt and Renergy Group Partners, at the ministry’s headquarters. The meeting formed part of the regular follow-up on the Abu Rawash waste-to-energy plant in Giza.
Environmental and economic value
General Mohamed Salah highlighted the role of recycling and waste-to-energy in environmental protection, climate adaptation and public health. The project is designed to process 1,200 tons of municipal solid waste per day and generate 30 megawatts of electricity per hour. It is part of wider cooperation among the ministries of Military Production, Local Development and Environment and Giza Governorate to support sustainable development and improve living conditions.
Mr Valk called for rapid implementation and said the project could improve environmental and health conditions, reduce pollution and create jobs. He also emphasised the importance of resolving challenges promptly. The public-private partnership is intended to bring advanced technology and industry to Egypt, localise the manufacture of waste-management equipment in Ministry of Military Production factories and transfer knowledge in technology, operation and maintenance.
Mr Mohamed Eid Bakr, media adviser to the minister, said cooperation with the private sector supports modern technology transfer and deeper local industrialisation. Mr Emile Helmy Elias, Vice Chairman of the National Authority for Military Production, and other senior officials also attended.
