據(jù)能源全球5月19日消息稱，COP27會(huì)議東道國埃及承諾投資400億美元發(fā)展綠色氫能經(jīng)濟(jì)，以吸引外國投資。

在過去三個(gè)月里，埃及宣布的一系列項(xiàng)目吸引了外國開發(fā)商，凸顯了該國的潛力，同時(shí)該國正準(zhǔn)備舉辦2023年的COP27會(huì)議。國際開發(fā)商對埃及表現(xiàn)出的興趣是由于一些有利因素，包括該國的地理位置、天然氣基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、液化設(shè)施、燃料市場和海上港口，以及其高度的太陽能和風(fēng)能潛力。雷斯塔能源表示，埃及也接近歐盟和中東等市場，這些地區(qū)在未來幾年將看到對氫的巨大需求。

埃及政府計(jì)劃在未來幾個(gè)月公布400億美元的國家氫計(jì)劃，認(rèn)識(shí)到綠色氫和氨的生產(chǎn)、儲(chǔ)存和進(jìn)出口的重要性，并考慮到國家的支持和稅收優(yōu)惠。氫氣事業(yè)的建立、運(yùn)營、管理過程也被簡化，只需要一個(gè)許可證，因此也減少了繁瑣的手續(xù)。

雷斯塔能源氫能部門負(fù)責(zé)人Minh Khoi Le博士說：“埃及具備成為綠色氫氣大國的所有先決條件——夢幻般的可再生能源潛力、大型項(xiàng)目的空間和建設(shè)專業(yè)知識(shí)。埃及政府400億美元的投資計(jì)劃表明了其承諾，并將吸引更多的外國投資。埃及位于三大洲之間，蘇伊士運(yùn)河承載著全球約12%的海運(yùn)貨物，埃及可以在遠(yuǎn)近提供可再生能源。國內(nèi)市場也將受益，因?yàn)樵诨适褂梅矫?，埃及農(nóng)業(yè)部門有望成為最環(huán)保的部門之一。”

這一計(jì)劃將推進(jìn)埃及綠色氫經(jīng)濟(jì)的巨大發(fā)展。即將出臺(tái)的立法將使綠色氫和氨計(jì)劃成為可能。

Rystad Energy: Egypt invests in green hydrogen economy

COP27 host Egypt has committed US$40 billion to green hydrogen economy to attract foreign investment.

The estimated cost for these hydrogen projects alone, without additional infrastructures, will be approximately US$20 billion. The projects are expected to come online before 2035, according to Rystad Energy research.

The series of projects announced in Egypt over the past three months has captivated foreign developers, highlighted the country’s potential, and came as the country gears up to host COP27 in 2023. The interest shown by international developers in Egypt is due to some favourable factors including the country’s location, natural gas infrastructure, liquefaction facilities, bunkering market, and marine ports, as well as its high solar and wind potential. Egypt is also close to markets such as the EU and the Middle East – regions set to see a huge demand for hydrogen in the coming years, Rystad Energy states.

The government of Egypt plans to release a US$40-billion national hydrogen plan in the coming months, recognising the importance of production, storage, and export/import of green hydrogen and ammonia under its economic development strategy and allowing for state support and tax incentives. The process of establishing, operating, and managing hydrogen projects has been simplified, requiring a single permit, which means less red tape.

“Egypt has all the prerequisites to become a green hydrogen giant – fantastic renewable potential, space for mega projects and construction expertise. The 40 billion in planned investments by the Egyptian government demonstrates commitment and will bring further foreign investment. Sitting between three continents and with the Suez Canal carrying approximately 12% of all the seaborne freight in the world, Egypt can supply renewable energy near and far. The domestic market will benefit too as the Egyptian agriculture sector can look forward to being one of the greenest when it comes to fertilizer use,” said Dr Minh Khoi Le, Head of Hydrogen at Rystad Energy.

This plan would be a huge development for Egypt’s green hydrogen economy. The upcoming legislation will enable green hydrogen and ammonia plans.
