據阿拉伯貿易網2022年8月29日開羅報道，總部位于沙特阿拉伯的能源轉型先驅阿爾法納爾公司（Alfanar）將利用可再生能源在埃及蘇赫納開發一個投資35億美元的綠色氨氣生產設施，每年用10萬噸綠色氫氣生產50萬噸綠色氨氣。

根據沙特阿拉伯能源大臣發起的中東綠色倡議，阿爾法納爾公司已與蘇伊士運河經濟區總管理局（SCZone）、埃及主權基金（TSFE）、埃及電力傳輸公司（EETC）和埃及新能源和可再生能源管理局（NREA）簽署了一份諒解備忘錄。

阿爾法納爾公司全球發展董事會董事長Sabah Al-Mutlaq表示：“我們與埃及有著長期的合作關系，我們很高興能在這個項目上與國家重要組織合作。通過簽署這份重要協議，雙方將合作開發綠色氫氣和綠色氨氣的生產項目。”

多年來，阿爾法納爾公司通過其設計和能源行業以及可再生能源開發項目在埃及擁有強大的影響力。 阿爾法納爾公司是全球首批在埃及阿斯旺地區本班太陽能園區運營50兆瓦太陽能項目的公司之一。 目前，這個太陽能發電廠每年生產的電力可以抵消大約57000噸的二氧化碳排放。

Alfanar to develop $3.5bn green ammonia plant in Egypt

Saudi-based Alfanar, a pioneer in energy transition, will develop a $3.5-billion green ammonia facility in Sokhna using renewables and produce 500,000 tonnes of green ammonia from 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.

In line with the Middle East Green Initiative launched by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Alfanar has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), the Sovereign Fund of Egypt (TSFE), the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) and the New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA).

The agreement was signed in the presence of Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt, Mohamed Shaker, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Hala Elsaid, Minister of Planning & Economic Development along with Saudi officials, Faisal A. Al-Yemni, Deputy Minister of Investment and Mazeed Al-Hoishan, Saudi Consul to Egypt.

Green hydrogen

Sabah Al-Mutlaq, Chairman of Board of Directors of Alfanar Global Development stated: “We have enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Egypt and are thrilled to partner with such esteemed organisations of national importance on this programme. Through this agreement, we will be developing a project to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia.”

Alfanar has enjoyed a strong presence in Egypt for many years through its design and energy industry as well as renewable energy development projects. Alfanar was one of the first companies across the globe to operate a 50MW solar project in the Benban Solar Park in the Aswan region of Egypt. The electricity generated from this solar plant currently offsets around 57,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
