emerging technology position it as part of the solution to our energy transition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blue hydrogen appears to have taken a lead in the GCC<\/strong> (however temporary?) over green hydrogen agreements;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egypt looks set to unveil new framework agreements for green hydrogen <\/strong>projects during COP27, building in momentum it established with MoUs in the past months.\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>AND- There\u2019s news this morning of yet another GCC investment in a green asset in the <\/strong><strong>west<\/strong> as Wafra takes a majority stake

(SCZone), hopes to execute a framework agreement during COP27, DW quotes CEO Sumant Sinha saying. ReNew expects to complete detailed project studies within 3-6 months, \u201cleading to decisions regarding the investment by mid-2023,\u201d Sinha is quoted by DW as saying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>And expect more in the months following COP:<\/strong> Egypt is also currently negotiating a hydrogen agreement with the EU, with the European Commission expecting \u201csome developments over the autumn,\u201d DW says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The gov\u2019t is targeting a wider range of countries: <\/strong>We might expect firms from the UAE, KSA, India and Australia to enter the market, DW notes. Egypt might also target investment from EU countries, Japan, China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As for export markets, Egypt will likely look first to the EU: <\/strong>\u201cThe green ammonia from Egypt is more likely to go to\u2026Europe and the Far East,\u201d DW quotes Rajat Seksaria, CEO of India's <strong>ACME Group<\/strong> \u2014 which <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2022\/08\/28\/seven-companies-ink-green-energy-mous-79230\/\">we noted has signed<\/a> an MoU for a 2.2 mn ton capacity plant \u2014 as saying. Green hydrogen serves as feedstock for green ammonia. The EU\u2019s push for more \u201cgreen steel\u201d to be made using hydrogen could also open up more production prospects for Egypt, DW notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But challenges remain:<\/strong> \u201cThe main hurdle for hydrogen is not production, but storage and transportation,\u201d the story quotes energy consultant Ali Habib saying. This is challenging because Egypt\u2019s strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/greeneconomys\/egypt-wants-become-leader-green-hydrogen-heres-govt-private-players-plan-make-happen\/\">is export-focused<\/a>. Demand for local green hydrogen application is currently low, DW notes Habib saying. Still-pending regulation would also be essential for local use to take off, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/greeneconomys\/egypt-lead-region-green-hydrogen-need-make-happen\/\">we noted recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/strong>Local industry may be more incentivized to use green hydrogen when the EU implements its plan to tax imports with a high carbon footprint, DW quotes Habib as saying. Egypt could also call for an easing of EU green content certification during COP27 to open up export to Europe, Lekela Power general manager Faisal Eissa previously predicted.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/cop27\/\">COP27<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/egypt\/\">Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/export\/\">export<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/gcc\/\">GCC<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/green-hydrogen\/\">green hydrogen<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/renew\/\">ReNew<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/scatec\/\">Scatec<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"74404\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"74404\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">GREEN HYDROGEN<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2022\/10\/19\/over-in-the-gcc-it-may-need-to-go-blue-before-it-goes-green\/\">\r\n                            Over in the GCC, it may need to go blue, before it goes green                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2022\/10\/19\/over-in-the-gcc-it-may-need-to-go-blue-before-it-goes-green\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
