Advancing Low-Carbon Hydrogen: Arab Energy Seminar in Cairo
Key Ideas
  • Egypt is positioning itself as a regional and global hub for green hydrogen production, leveraging its geographical advantages and renewable energy resources.
  • The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources in Egypt is actively implementing the national low-carbon hydrogen strategy, with projects underway for producing green hydrogen and its derivatives.
  • The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPAEC) is focusing on hydrogen as the international choice for enhancing sustainability and supporting member countries in preparing specialized reports and studies.
  • The seminar in Cairo provided a platform for experts to discuss the current hydrogen market landscape, the integration of hydrogen with renewable energy sources, and the role of technologies in supporting the low-carbon hydrogen sector.
The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPAEC) held the third seminar at ENPPI headquarters in Cairo, discussing advancements in the hydrogen field and its role in building a low-carbon future. Key figures like Alaa El Batal and Jamal Al Loughani emphasized cooperation among Arab countries and Egypt's ambition to become a hub for green hydrogen production. Egypt's national low-carbon hydrogen strategy aims to utilize renewable energy resources and infrastructure to lead in green hydrogen production. The seminar highlighted projects by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources to produce green hydrogen, such as a collaboration with Norway's Scatec for green ammonia production. Notable achievements include Egypt's export of green ammonia and the pioneering refueling operation with green methanol in Africa and the Middle East. Al Loughani underlined the importance of low-carbon hydrogen for sustainability and economic growth, with a focus on overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities. The seminar served as a platform for exchanging knowledge and ideas among experts, addressing the integration of hydrogen with renewables and technology's role in the low-carbon hydrogen sector.
