【招商】埃及批准西扎法拉纳600兆瓦光伏供绿氨项目用地 并将ACWA Power绿氢谅解备忘录延长一年[Investment] Egypt Approves Land for 600 MW Solar Plant Feeding Green Ammonia Project and Extends ACWA Power Hydrogen MoU by One Year

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that, according to a 3 November flash report by SMM (Shanghai Metals Market), Egypt's National Council for Green Hydrogen, at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Madbouly, approved developer Acure's land allocation request for about 12 square kilometres at West Zaafarana for a 600 MW solar plant whose output will feed the first phase of its green ammonia project, with an initial capacity of 100,000 t/a.

1. ACWA Power MoU extension

The same meeting approved a one-year extension of Egypt's green hydrogen project memorandum of understanding with Saudi developer ACWA Power, which targets 66,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 500,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year.

2. Project stage

These decisions are at the land and cooperation-framework level; the projects have not reached financial close or construction, and power purchase and grid arrangements, environmental permits and final investment decisions remain to be secured. An earlier EIC study found that although Egypt has 38 GW of planned clean hydrogen capacity, only 17 MW is in operation.
