Forbes International Tower is gearing up to become the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region's pioneering net-zero skyscraper with a strong focus on hydrogen power and sustainability. The tower, situated in the planned Cairo Capital city, is a joint project by Magnom Properties and Rawabi Holding, slated to start construction next year and be ready by 2030. The tower's design includes solar panels to cater to 25% of its energy requirements while the remaining portion will be powered by hydrogen, effectively reducing carbon emissions to zero. Utilizing a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) system, the tower will revolutionize energy efficiency and promote environmental intelligence. The Cairo Capital city, where the tower will stand, is envisioned to accommodate 6.5 million people upon completion, addressing Egypt's growing population needs. Maged Marie, the CEO of Magnom Properties, highlights the tower's adoption of clean hydrogen as crucial for the future of electricity generation and stresses its commitment to spearheading sustainability innovations in the region. Partnering with Schneider Electric and H2-Enterprises further cements the project's dedication to building a self-sustaining and eco-friendly structure, positioning Forbes International Tower as a trailblazer in reshaping the sustainability landscape in MENA.
