The facility, being developed by France’s EDF and UAE-based Zero Waste, will largely provide ammonia fuel for ships traversing the Suez Canal
The Egyptian government has signed a “co-operation agreement” with French utility EDF and UAE-based Zero Waste for a €7bn green hydrogen project near the Gulf of Suez that would produce more than one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, largely for use as a shipping fuel.
The consortium will build its own wind- and solar-power facilities across 420sq km hear Ras Shukeir, a small town with its own oil & gas facility and airport about 260km from the Suez Canal.
