Metito is looking to support Egypt’s green hydrogen boost: UAE-based water management solutions provider Metito is in talks with developers to establish four desalination plants to support Egyptian green hydrogen production facilities, Metito Managing Director Karim Madwar tells AlMal. Each of the desalination facilities — all expected to be located in close proximity to planned green fuels plants in Ain Al Sokhna — would have a 50k cubic meter production capacity. Metito has already established a desalination facility for Scatec and Fertiglobe’s 100 MW green hydrogen plant in Sokhna, Madwar says, and the plants would either be under a BOO agreement or be built under a joint partnership with the green fuels developers.

Metito has a track record in Egypt’s water infrastructure industry: The company — along with Orascom Construction, Hassan Allam Construction, and Arab Contractors — is developing the Al Mahsama agricultural drainage treatment plant.
