Egypt to implement green school project in Red Sea

Key Green Projects by the Petroleum Sector

Wood Technology Project: The petroleum sector is completing the execution and trial operations of the Wood Technology Company project. This project aims to produce 205,000 cubic meters of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) annually, utilizing 250,000 tons of rice straw.

Bioethanol Production Project: The sector is also implementing a bioethanol production project, which will use molasses produced by Egyptian sugar companies to generate 100,000 tons of bioethanol annually. This initiative will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Damietta Green Ammonia Project: The newly established Damietta Green Ammonia Company will build a solar power plant with a capacity of 140 MW, a wind power plant with a capacity of 340 MW, and a green hydrogen electrolyzer with a capacity of 210 MW. This infrastructure aims to produce 150,000 tons of green ammonia annually.

Aligning with Global Climate Goals

To address the global climate crisis and adhere to international carbon emission reduction commitments, the Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding Company is developing a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project.

This project will produce SAF by hydrotreating used cooking oil, aligning with international regulations that mandate a 2% blend of SAF with conventional aviation fuel.
