BP will carry out several studies to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of developing a multi phase, large scale green hydrogen (gH2) export hub in Egypt.

Green hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis, powered by ‘renewable’ energy.

Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, BP head of gas and low carbon energy, said: “Egypt has world class renewable energy resources, and we look forward to working with the government to explore how we can support its ambitious low carbon strategy.”
