The bigger picture: Egypt has a flurry of green hydrogen plants in the pipeline as part of a goal to become a regional hub for green hydrogen by 2026 and global hub by 2030. The government in August launched the National Low-Carbon Hydrogen Strategy, which targets 5-8% of the global hydrogen market by 2040.
