CARBON CAPTURE-<\/p>\n

Adnoc taps Celeros to provide carbon capture tech for Habshan plant: <\/strong>Adnoc has chosen US-based flow technology company Celeros<\/a> to provide two high pressure CO2 injection packages \u2014 among the world\u2019s largest \u2014 for carbon capture and storage (CCS) at its gas plant in Abu Dhabi, according to a statement<\/a>. The Habshan plant<\/a> will be able to process 1.5 mn tons of CO2 annually.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Adnoc has been exploring CCS investment opportunities: <\/strong>Adnoc signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Occidental Petroleum to explore potential investments<\/a> in CCS hubs in the UAE and the US in April. The carbon capture program is part of an initial USD 15 bn decarbonization investment in low-carbon solutions to reach Adnoc\u2019s Net-Zero by 2045.<\/p>\n

WATER MANAGEMENT-<\/p>\n

Egypt inks agreement for water resources management:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s National Authority<\/a>for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences<\/a> (NARSS) and the National Water Research Center<\/a> (NWRC) have signed a joint cooperation protocol to enhance water resource management and development to address Egypt\u2019s water challenges, Daily News Egypt<\/a> reports. The collaboration involves studying and evaluating surface and groundwater resources, managing natural resources and earth sciences, and developing smart systems for efficient water management. It also aims for the use of advanced technologies like remote sensing, GIS, lasers, radar, and thermal sensors.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Egypt\u2019s water scarcity crisis will reach new levels once GERD is complete: <\/strong>Water scarcity has left about 93% of Egypt\u2019s rural lands<\/a> untapped for agricultural potential. Without increasing agricultural water efficiency, \u201cwater scarcity will increase net virtual water imports by 15% by 2030, reaching 45% in drought periods,\u201d according to a report<\/a> from the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency. Egypt fears that the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) presents an existential threat to its water security<\/a> as Ethiopia continues to unilaterally fill the reservoir without a binding agreement.<\/p>\n
