Egypt’s Strategic Location
Egypt stands at the crossroads of Africa and the Middle East, bordering the Mediterranean and the Red Seas. This strategic positioning is key in the development and export of green hydrogen. It provides Egypt with direct access to European and Asian markets, making the transportation of hydrogen less complicated and more cost-effective. The proximity to these markets is crucial as demand for green hydrogen – a cleaner energy alternative – grows globally.


High Solar and Wind Potential
A significant factor in the production of green hydrogen is the availability of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Egypt is favored with high solar irradiance and strong, consistent wind speeds, particularly in areas like the Gulf of Suez. These renewable energy resources are essential for the electrolysis process – splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity derived from renewable sources. The abundance of sun and wind not only ensures a steady supply of green electricity but also positions Egypt as a capable producer of green hydrogen at a competitive cost.
