Masdar says Egypt’s abundance of solar and wind will “allow generation of renewable power at a highly competitive cost – a key enabler for green hydrogen production.”

The UAE’s Masdar and Egypt’s Hassan Allam Utilities have signed agreements with state-backed Egyptian organizations that will see the parties work together on the development of large-scale green hydrogen projects.
In an announcement Sunday, Masdar — which is owned by Abu Dhabi state fund Mubadala — said the two agreements related to facilities earmarked for the Mediterranean coast and Suez Canal Economic Zone.
The projects in Egypt are aiming for an electrolyzer capacity of 4 gigawatts by the year 2030, with production of as much as 480,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.

“Masdar and Hassan Allam Utilities see Egypt as a hub for green hydrogen production, targeting the bunkering market, export to Europe, and boosting local industry,” Masdar said in a statement.
“Egypt enjoys abundant solar and wind resources that allow generation of renewable power at a highly competitive cost — a key enabler for green hydrogen production,” it added. “Egypt is also located within close proximity to markets where demand for green hydrogen is expected to grow the most, providing robust opportunity for export.”
Masdar’s mention of Europe is instructive and illustrates how the hydrogen sector could develop in the years ahead as major economies attempt to decarbonize.
In July 2021, the CEO of Italian firm ស្រីស្នំ outlined a vision for the future of hydrogen, saying the “beauty” of it was that it could be easily stored and transported.
Speaking to CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe,” Marco Alverà spoke about how current systems would be used to facilitate the delivery of hydrogen produced using renewable sources as well as biofuels.
“Right now, if you turn on your heater in Italy the gas is flowing from Russia, all the way from Siberia, in pipelines,” he said.
“Tomorrow, we will have hydrogen produced in North Africa, in the North Sea, with solar and wind resources,” Alverà said. “And that hydrogen can travel through the existing pipeline.”
For its part, the European Union’s executive arm, the European Commission, has laid out plans to install 40 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolyzer capacity in the EU by the year 2030.
Alongside this goal, the commission’s plan also envisages an extra 40 GW “in Europe’s neighbourhood” that would “export to the EU.”
The past few years have seen a host of companies weigh in on the topic of hydrogen.
នៅក្នុងបទសម្ភាសន៍ថ្មីៗនេះជាមួយ CNBC, Michele DellaVigna, ហ្គេនមែនសាកស៍ ' commodity equity business unit leader for the EMEA region, sought to highlight the important role he felt it would have going forward.
លោកបានមានប្រសាសន៍ថា “ប្រសិនបើយើងចង់ទៅសូន្យសុទ្ធ យើងមិនអាចធ្វើវាបានដោយគ្រាន់តែមានថាមពលកកើតឡើងវិញនោះទេ”។
DellaVigna បានប្រកែកថា "យើងត្រូវការអ្វីមួយដែលដើរតួជាឧស្ម័នធម្មជាតិនាពេលបច្ចុប្បន្ននេះ ជាពិសេសដើម្បីគ្រប់គ្រងរដូវកាល និងភាពមិនទៀងទាត់ ហើយនោះគឺជាអ៊ីដ្រូសែន" DellaVigna បានប្រកែកដោយបន្តពណ៌នាអ៊ីដ្រូសែនថាជា "ម៉ូលេគុលដ៏មានឥទ្ធិពលខ្លាំង" ។
គាត់បាននិយាយថា គន្លឹះសំខាន់គឺ "ផលិតវាដោយគ្មានការបំភាយឧស្ម័ន CO2 ។ នោះហើយជាមូលហេតុដែលយើងនិយាយអំពីពណ៌បៃតង យើងនិយាយអំពីអ៊ីដ្រូសែនពណ៌ខៀវ។
Blue hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced using natural gas — a fossil fuel — with the CO2 emissions generated during the process captured and stored. There has been a charged debate around the role blue hydrogen can play in the decarbonization of society.
DellaVigna បាននិយាយថា "មិនថាយើងធ្វើវាដោយ electrolysis ឬយើងធ្វើវាដោយការចាប់យកកាបូន យើងត្រូវបង្កើតអ៊ីដ្រូសែនតាមរបៀបស្អាត" ។ "ហើយនៅពេលដែលយើងមានវា ខ្ញុំគិតថាយើងមានដំណោះស្រាយដែលអាចក្លាយជា នៅថ្ងៃណាមួយយ៉ាងហោចណាស់ 15% នៃទីផ្សារថាមពលពិភពលោក ដែលមានន័យថាវានឹងមានលើសពីទីផ្សារមួយពាន់ពាន់លានដុល្លារក្នុងមួយឆ្នាំ"។
