Egypt's Strategic Leap: Embracing the Hydrogen Revolution for Economic Growth
Key Ideas
  • Egypt unveiled its National Low-Carbon Hydrogen Strategy, aiming for 5-8% of the global hydrogen market by 2040, with a potential to attract $60 billion in investments.
  • The strategy focuses on green hydrogen production through electrolysis, leveraging Egypt's renewable energy potential to become a major global hydrogen hub.
  • Collaborations with organizations like the EBRD and AUSDE aim to secure 8% of the global market and reduce hydrogen costs from $2.7 per kg in 2025 to $1.7 per kg by 2050.
  • Egypt's transition to low-carbon hydrogen is vital for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries, meeting climate targets, and unlocking export opportunities, potentially injecting $10-18 billion into its GDP by 2040.
As Egypt navigates the changing global energy landscape, the nation has seized the opportunity presented by the hydrogen revolution. With its rich history in energy production and strategic geographical location, Egypt unveiled its National Low-Carbon Hydrogen Strategy in August 2024. The plan sets ambitious targets, envisioning Egypt capturing a significant share of the global hydrogen market by 2040, potentially attracting billions in investments. By focusing on green hydrogen production through electrolysis, Egypt aims to capitalize on its renewable energy potential and become a prominent global hydrogen hub. The strategy also emphasizes collaborations with international partners like the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Arab Union for Sustainable Development and Environment (AUSDE) to drive cost reductions and secure a substantial market share. Leveraging its existing infrastructure and renewable resources, Egypt aims to decarbonize industries, meet climate goals, and tap into lucrative export markets. The nation's proactive approach and clear vision signal a strong commitment to harnessing the economic and environmental benefits offered by the hydrogen economy.
