Discussed: Egypt's integrated strategy to decarbonize, reduce emissions
Egypt's petroleum sector has adopted a vision to work on switching to low-carbon sources of energy and decarbonization.
The strategy relies on four main axes, which are: low-carbon natural gas as a transitional fuel, improving energy efficiency, decarbonizing the oil and gas industry, and expanding energy production, and new petrochemical projects that contribute to preserving the environment and producing low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia.
The petroleum sector has succeeded in taking many steps and measures in the field of energy transition and reducing emissions.
The following are the most important achievements in this regard until December 2022:
1- Achieving an annual reduction of about 845,000 tons of carbon dioxide by delivering natural gas to more than 14 million housing units.
2- Achieving an annual reduction of more than 2 million tons of carbon dioxide by converting about 500 thousand cars to run on compressed natural gas since the start of the activity.
