Egypt and France have entered a significant partnership to establish a green hydrogen production facility in eastern Egypt. The 7 billion euro agreement, signed during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Cairo, involves the development, financing, construction, and operation of the facility near Ras Shokair on the Gulf of Suez. The project, overseen by the Red Sea Ports Authority and the New and Renewable Energy Authority in collaboration with the Green Fuel Alliance, including EDF Renewables and Zero Waste, will focus on producing green hydrogen and derivatives like green ammonia. With a total production target of 1 million tons per year, the venture highlights a major investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Macron's visit to Egypt not only marked the signing of this agreement but also included discussions on bilateral relations and regional issues. The tour of iconic sites like the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar underlines the cultural and economic ties between the two nations.
