Masdar to develop 4GW Egyptian green hydrogen projects

First phase aims to establish a 100,000t/yr green hydrogen manufacturing facility to be operational by 2026

Development work on 4GW of green hydrogen projects in Egypt is underway after Abu Dhabi’s state-owned renewables company Masdar and energy sector investor Hassan Allam Utilities signed two memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with Egyptian state-backed organisations.
