Together, those projects are expected to add an annual production capacity of 6.2 mn tonnes of refined products, including gasoline and diesel, El Molla said on the sidelines of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saudigreeninitiative.org\/events\/middle-east-green-initiative-summit\/\">Saudi Green Initiative conference<\/a> in Riyadh. The plans come as part of the government\u2019s newfound policy of refining crude locally instead of importing refined products, the minister added, noting that Egypt is \u201cnot a big oil producer, but \u2026 [is] doing great in refined products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(You can thank, in good measure, <strong>Ahmed Heikal\u2019s Egyptian Refining Company <\/strong>for the improved local availability of refined product in recent times.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A parallel plan involves capitalizing on the recent pick-up in LNG exports<\/strong>, with an eye to negotiate more long-term sales agreements to reduce the country\u2019s reliance on the spot market, El Molla said. Some 60% of LNG exports are currently made through long-term contracts and 40% on a spot basis, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5d58a836-bff9-4fc9-9db3-c2828087edec\">strategy to become a regional energy hub<\/a><\/strong><strong> is also pertinent due to Europe\u2019s ongoing <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/208f2a2c-c345-4387-9410-0da9df41555a\">energy crisis<\/a><\/strong> and the global shortage of natural gas. The resulting \u201cbig spike [in natgas prices] is exceptional and not sustainable,\u201d El-Molla said, but added that \u201call neighbors are looking at Egypt as a gas hub and as an outlet for their gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new pipeline in the works:<\/strong> Egypt is considering connecting its gas grid to Israel through a new USD 200 mn onshore pipeline through North Sinai, Israel\u2019s energy minister <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/03e23113-0f26-4a12-8d78-f0704c819c51\">announced last week<\/a>. The pipeline could be operational within two years and is expected to boost exports by 3-5 bn cubic meters (bcm) annually, and could eventually boost supplies to Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt became a net exporter of natural gas and LNG in 2018 after the discovery of the supergiant Zohr gas field<\/strong> \u2014 the Mediterranean\u2019s largest \u2014 allowed us to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/30\/egypt-ends-natural-gas-imports\/\">pull the plug<\/a> on imports.
