Egypt's Push for Green Hydrogen Production Hub with Global Alliance Partnership
Key Ideas
- Egypt's Prime Minister met with a global alliance, including John Cockerill, to discuss localizing electrolyzer component production for green hydrogen.
- Major firms like Scatec, Technip, and Schlumberger aim to collaborate with Egypt on green hydrogen and ammonia projects.
- The initiative led by John Cockerill could establish Egypt as a hub for green hydrogen production, reducing import reliance and boosting the country's economy.
- Egypt's strategic location and government support make it an ideal platform for manufacturing electrolyzer components and becoming a global center for green energy production.
Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly engaged with a global alliance, spearheaded by John Cockerill, to discuss localizing the production of electrolyzer components in Egypt. The alliance, which includes renowned firms like Scatec, Technip, and Schlumberger, aims to collaborate with Egypt on green hydrogen and ammonia projects. John Cockerill's leadership in alkaline electrolyzer production could propel Egypt into a prominent position as a hub for green hydrogen production. Madbouly reiterated Egypt's interest in cooperating with the alliance to establish an industrial plant for green hydrogen and ammonia production, with full government support and facilitation through the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). Egypt's progress in green hydrogen and ammonia production, driven by its strategic location, is seen as pivotal in reducing import reliance and positioning the country as a global green energy production center. The meeting highlighted Scatec's green ammonia project in Ain Sokhna, in partnership with Egypt Green Hydrogen Company, aiming to supply Germany with green ammonia from 2027. Additionally, a $900 million green ammonia project in Damietta, involving Norwegian company Yara, is set to provide 150,000 tons annually.
