With Support from Germany and GIZ, the African Country Allocates More Than 26 Thousand km² for Renewable Energy and Seeks to Consolidate Its Position as a Global Green Hydrogen Center

Green hydrogen is becoming the buzzword in discussions about global energy transition. In this scenario, Egypt emerges as a key player. With a rapidly growing population and being the second most industrialized country in Africa — only behind South Africa — the North African country aims to position itself as a strategic hub for renewable energy.

The geography and natural resources make the territory extremely competitive. Egypt has a high potential for electricity generation from clean sources, such as solar and wind, an ideal condition for large-scale green hydrogen production.

For Germany, having such a geographically close partner represents logistical and strategic advantages since hydrogen is considered a key element in the decarbonization process of industries and transport.

Cooperation of More Than 15 Years with Germany

The partnership between Germany and Egypt in the area of sustainable energy is not recent. For over 15 years, both countries have been developing projects together, with the mediation of GIZ (German Agency for International Cooperation), which acts on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

This work goes beyond transferring technology. It promotes economic development, supports Egyptian climate goals, and is aligned with German political priorities, such as limiting long-term global warming.

According to the latest assessment, the work of the Egyptian-German Committee was classified as “highly successful,” mainly due to the efficient coordination among international partners and donors, optimizing investments and results.

26 Thousand km² Dedicated to Renewable Energy

One of the most impressive aspects of this cooperation lies in the scale of the investment. More than 26,000 km² of Egyptian territory have been designated for the expansion of renewable energy, an area larger than the territory of Rwanda.

The Egyptian New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) estimates that in this space alone, it is possible to install about 70 GW of wind capacity. This number is equivalent to approximately 10% of Germany’s current total electrical capacity, highlighting the project’s strategic weight. For Egypt, it would mean multiplying its installed renewable energy capacity by ten, changing the foundation of its energy matrix.

As Highlighted by Reem Hanna, Chief Advisor of the Egyptian-German Committee:

“Our support for the Egyptian government has positive impacts on the private sector and regional partners.”

This statement reinforces the multiplier effect of the project, which benefits not only Egypt but also strengthens regional value chains related to green hydrogen.

Clean Energy, Climate Goals, and Future

Investment in green hydrogen is not just an energy project; it is also a strategic piece in the fight against climate change. For Egypt, expanding clean production is vital to reduce emissions while sustaining industrial growth. For Germany, having reliable close partners strengthens its energy security amid the quest for climate neutrality.

If the gamble pays off, Egypt could become not only an exporter of clean energy but also an example of how emerging countries can reposition themselves in the international market.

And you, do you believe Egypt can lead the African green hydrogen market?

Clean Energy, Climate Goals, and Future

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Change in INSS reduces waiting time from 45 to 30 days, prioritizes pensions, revisions, and BPC, and could expedite over 100,000 stalled processes, while employees receive productivity bonuses and the government attempts to reduce a backlog that still exceeds 2.1 million requests.

David Camacho, the 10-year-old Mexican child prodigy with an IQ of 162, higher than Einstein’s, underwent astronaut training at NASA, speaks four languages, and created an app to help children deal with emotions after the bullying he experienced.

London waited more than 360 years for this scene: four pelican chicks are born in St James’s Park, surprising experts, resembling little dinosaurs, and turning an isolation caused by avian flu into a historic chapter for the birds that have lived alongside British royalty since 1664.

They wanted artificial intelligence, but they drained the water from a village in Mexico: the water consumption of data centers caused a hepatitis outbreak, and big tech companies Amazon, Microsoft, and Google were forced to halt billion-dollar projects.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
