Egypt s low-carbon energy storage system

What is the potential production of low carbon hydrogen in Egypt?

The potential production of low carbon hydrogen (blue hydrogen or green hydrogen or both) in Egypt will be driven by medium to long-term developments in the country’s power and natural gas energy subsectors. Thus, it is important to outline first the key challenges and opportunities facing these two key energy segments of Egypt’s economy.

Will Egypt develop low carbon hydrogen alternatives?

Thus, the Egyptian government is planning to develop low carbon hydrogen alternatives and has set up an inter-ministerial committee to prepare a national hydrogen strategy for Egypt. It is interesting to note that Egypt is one of the first countries in the MENA region to have produced and used green hydrogen.

Can Egypt transition from conventional to re energy resources?

This should allow for carrying out an energy transition from conventional to RE resources in Egypt; where a similar analysis has been carried out in Iran and allowed for developing five different energy systems focusing on the underlying RE production and efficiency improvements (Noorollahi et al., 2021).

Can Egypt achieve 42% of its energy generation capacity by 2035?

At present, Egypt has set an ambitious objective of achieving 42% of its energy generation capacity from renewable sources by 2035 (known as the 2035 energy target) (IRENA, 2018b). To better exploit the RE potential in Egypt, a few review studies have covered different aspects of RE technologies.

Can Egypt store green hydrogen?

Egypt already produces a relatively large volume of ammonia. It is Africa’s biggest ammonia producer and has an established experience in ammonia production, storage, and transportation. But the option of storing green hydrogen through the production and storage of green ammonia would depend on Egypt’s hydrogen development strategy.

How solar PV distribution technology is developing in Egypt?

Solar PV distribution technology is developing quickly in Egypt due to the development of several pipeline projects; where industries and businesses can link PV systems on a small scale to meet their increased energy demand and hence reduce their energy costs.
