Green Hydrogen

Green Tech Egypt, as the project founder, sponsor, and investor, along with its consortium partners in Renergy Group Partners, has developed a ground-breaking $17 billion investment opportunity in El-Tor, positioning Egypt as a major hub for renewable hydrogen production. The project positions Egypt as a leader in the global clean energy transition.

With abundant renewable resources and direct access to European markets via the Suez Canal, the El-Tor project offers a competitive advantage over other hydrogen producers. The project’s strategic location enables cost-effective production of liquid green hydrogen, leveraging a combination of solar and hydropower storage ensuring continuous, round-the-clock energy generation. This makes it the most suitable project to supply green hydrogen fulfilling European demand.

Near El-Tor in South Sinai, Renergy Group Partners is developing Egypt’s first mega-scale green hydrogen plant. Spanning 100 km², the facility will operate entirely off-grid with a 15 GW solar capacity, using 100% solar energy to ensure uninterrupted hydrogen production year-round at the lowest possible cost. The plant is set to produce 400,000 tons of green liquid hydrogen annually, with its entire output dedicated to European exports.

Beyond energy production, the project will stimulate economic growth by generating thousands of skilled jobs in engineering, energy storage, and hydrogen technology. It will introduce state-of-the-art advancements in civil engineering, hydrogen production, and liquefaction, further solidifying Egypt’s status as a leader in renewable energy innovation. Additionally, Renergy plans to establish a dedicated hydrogen pipeline to connect key hydrogen hubs, creating a stable, long-term supply chain for clean energy.

The project will be developed in phases, with the first phase scheduled to be operational by 2030, delivering an initial export capacity of 165,000 tons of liquid hydrogen per year. Phase 2, set for 2033, will increase production to 320,000 tons per year, followed by phase 3 in 2035, reaching a total output of 400,000 tons annually. This ambitious timeline underscores Egypt’s commitment to becoming a main player in the global green hydrogen market.
