About us

Egypt’s geographic and natural conditions are ideal for development of wind and solar generated power. The earliest studies conducted in 1980 by Prof. Dr. Amin Mobarak of Cairo University and all later studies confirm excellent wind conditions particularly in the Gulf of Suez, where wind speed average is 10 m/sec and above, thus creating potential for wind generated electricity up to 20,000 MW which puts Egypt well situated on world map for wind generated electricity. Additionally, Egypt enjoys highest annual sunshine hours and unlimited open space for solar power installations thus culminating an estimated potential up to 8000 Tera Wh/year which can be utilized for producing green hydrogen, green ammonia and Power-to-X in general. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Egyptian Chemical Industries Company (KIMA) was the first company in MENA region and one of the first in the world to apply hydroelectricity from Aswan dam to produce hydrogen and ammonia, which would now be recognized and classified as “green hydrogen & green ammonia”. However, when KIMA plant expanded in 2019, much of green hydrogen production through electrolysis was switched over to gas-based steam methane reforming process. At that time availability and economic considerations took precedence.
