The Forbes International Tower, part of Egypt's New Administrative Capital construction near Cairo, is set to become an ambitious hydrogen-powered skyscraper. Designed by Gordon Gill of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the 43-floor office building aims to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint by utilizing 75% hydrogen and 25% solar panels, reducing reliance on the traditional power grid. Through the incorporation of low-embodied carbon materials and water recycling, the developer, Magnom Properties, plans to cut construction emissions by 58% and reduce freshwater demand. The goal is to achieve a 'net-negative carbon vision' and secure a Zero Carbon Certificate. While hydrogen is a novel approach in architecture, its potential as a clean and renewable energy source is gaining attention globally. Other architects are also exploring alternative power sources like gravity power storage systems and pumped storage hydropower to meet energy demands in high-density areas. The agreement between Magnom Properties, Schneider Electric, and H2 Enterprises to assess hydrogen use in the skyscraper showcases the industry's push towards sustainability and innovation. Egypt's New Administrative Capital, a sustainable smart city under construction since 2016, is positioning itself as a hub for businesses and international companies to thrive in a green environment.
