One of Egypt's largest fertiliser firms, Abu Qir Fertilizers, has decided to partially replace natural gas with hydrogen at its production facilities due to ongoing shortages of natural gas. The company's board unanimously approved this measure in response to the consistent supply troubles that have been affecting their operations over the past month. Abu Qir Fertilizers is among several major fertiliser and chemical players in Egypt that recently had to stop production activities due to the scarcity of natural gas. By transitioning to hydrogen, the company is taking a positive step towards diversifying their energy sources and reducing their dependence on natural gas. This strategic decision not only addresses the immediate supply chain challenges but also aligns with the broader goal of energy transition and sustainability within the fertiliser industry.
