2035“Maximize the efficient use of various Energy resources in acompetitive, environment manner focusing on renewable energy”.

There are a Coherence among the Egypt’s energy vision 2035
& National SDGs 2030 & UN SDGs 2030.

Energy Strategy 2035
• The Supreme Energy Council approved,"Integrated and Sustainable Energy Strategy
till 2035“.
• Targeting 42.7% RE as a share of generated
electricity by year 2035.

• Now, we will achieve, one year ahead of theschedule, our first target by reaching renewableenergy capacities to 20% from the expected
maximum peak load.

21.13• Currently, coal energy option has been
excluded from energy mix to be replaced byrenewable energy.
• Private sector investments will play critical rolein achieving the target through a framework

Waste to Energy

in Cooperation with Ministry of Environment

Waste to Energy▪ Energy-from-Waste is the process of generating energy
in the form of electricity and/or heat.
▪ According to the Ministry of Environment: 20% of thetotal collected of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) will be
forwarded to the technologies of W2E (about 4.2 milliom
tons of MSW to W2E)
▪ Private sector is invited to participate in electricity
generation form waste.

Waste to Energy▪ A compensation tariff for purchasing electricity

produced from solid waste to be 1.4 EGP per K.w.h▪ Expected Electricity that could be Generated fromWaste according to the cabinet Decree ( 300 MWfor the coming 5 years )Electric Vehicles

Government Support to Invest in Electrical infrastructureof Electric Vehicles• An incentive tariff has been proposed for EV charging and it
is currently in the process of approval (by the EgyptianCabinet) .
• In addition The government has also provide a package ofIncentives to encourage the investment in this field
including : Charging Tariff , Customs Exemption ……
• The Production Capacity of EV for the Local Manufacturer(Nasr Company) = 25000 Electric Vehicle / Annually• There are a national committee from different ministries headed by the Egyptian Ministryof Military Production for the localization of the electric vehicle industry in Egypt.

Power-to-X technology

The generation of electricity by renewable sources such as wind and sun is naturally subject togreat fluctuations. While on windy, sunny days, surpluses are produced that can not be directly
consumed or taken from the power grid, One of the storage solution is using hydrogen. That is called

Power-to-X technology : as it is a transformation of surplus electricity into another forms of energy

POWER

X

The term "power" stands for electrical energy and "X" for the form of energy into which the current is converted

EGYPT CURRENT SITUATION OF HYDROGEN:
Several measures have been taken to develop hydrogen in Egypt such as:• A prime minister decree has been issued for forming a high –level working group from various ministries to set a road map for
future steps for using hydrogen.
• The road map includes preparing a national strategy for hydrogenproduction in accordance to the requirements of the concernedsectors, developing an action plan to implement the strategy,
studying the opportunities for localizing the hydrogen industry in
Egypt, and cooperate with any of developed countries in the fieldof hydrogen to benefit from their experiences and implement pilotprojects.
23Partnership in the field of green hydrogen Production• On 14 January 2021, The Egyptian Electricity and Renewable Energy
sector, signed an agreement of intentions with the German company
Siemens, to start discussions and studies to implement a pilot project
for the production of green hydrogen in Egypt, as a first step towards
expanding in this field to the possibility of exporting.
• On 24 August 2021, Siemens Energy has signed a memorandum ofunderstanding with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company tojointly develop hydrogen-based industry in Egypt with export
capability. MoU will pursue the development of a pilot project,comprising 100 to 200 MW of electrolyzer capacity.

Partnership in the field of green hydrogen Production• On 4/3/2021 an agreement of intent signed between Egyptian
Electricity and Renewable Energy sector and consortium of Belgium
companies (Deme –Fluxys –Antwerp port) for establishment of thefirst integrated industrial complex “multi – purpose” for producing
green hydrogen in Egypt.

• On 8/7/2021 an agreement signed between the Egyptian Electricity
Holding Company (EEHC) and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding
Company (EGAS) and Eni Company to assess the technical andcommercial feasibility of projects for the production of hydrogen inthe country.
