Egypt’s Low Carbon Hydrogen

Development Prospects

Published by: The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies

Consultants: Ali Habib, Energy Consultant Mostefa Ouki, Senior Research Fellow, OIES

2021

Egypt has been expanding its renewable energy capacity in recent years and it has significant potential for further expansion of renewables, with a target to reach over 40% of installed capacity by 2035. This, combined with concerns about potential future natural gas supplies, leads to a focus on hydrogen from electrolysis (“green” hydrogen) rather than from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (“blue” hydrogen). The paper examines these alternatives and their associated costs and challenges in some detail.
