The Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Karim Badawi, has affirmed the nation’s dedication to progressing its green hydrogen initiatives.
Badawi emphasized the importance of collaborating with international companies to ensure the projects’ success and outlined the government’s detailed roadmap for implementing these plans.
The Ministry of Petroleum is keen on speeding up procedures for ongoing projects in partnership with leading global firms. They aim to localize key technologies to attract more investments, making Egypt a promising hydrogen supplier for Europe and other markets.
Badawi’s remarks came during a meeting with representatives from John Cockerill, Scatec, Schlumberger, Technip, and Riley Petroleum. The discussion centered on cooperation for a green ammonia production project to be established in Damietta Governorate.
This ambitious project, supported by Misr Fertilizers Production Company’s (MOPCO) facilities valued at $900 million, will include solar and wind power plants. An electrolyzer will produce 150,000 tons of green ammonia annually, which will serve as clean fuel.
