Egypt Today: A recent report by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) highlights Egypt’s growing momentum in the hydrogen sector, revealing that the country now leads the Arab world with a total of 38 hydrogen-related projects.
The report, covering developments in LNG and hydrogen for Q1 2025, points to Egypt’s proactive approach in partnering with international stakeholders and pushing forward with clean energy initiatives.
The majority of Egypt’s hydrogen and green ammonia projects are concentrated in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Out of roughly 30 memorandums of understanding signed by the zone’s General Authority, 14 have already been activated. These have led to the signing of 11 framework agreements aimed at establishing a production capacity projected to reach 18 million tons per year once all phases are completed.
The report also notes a sharp rise in the number of hydrogen projects across the Arab world — now totaling around 130 — quadrupling the number recorded in 2021. These projects span various stages of development, from early-stage feasibility studies to final investment decisions backed by binding sales contracts.
Egypt’s prominent position in this growing field underscores its commitment to becoming a regional hub for sustainable energy and leveraging global momentum toward cleaner technologies.
