The country\u2019s first green chemicals plant is officially under construction<\/strong>, after China\u2019s Binhua Group \u2014 or Befar \u2014 broke ground on their USD 500 mn chlor-alkali production facility in the China-Egypt TEDA trade zone, according to a statement<\/a> from the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). The big-ticket project is split between a USD 300 mn first phase \u2014 to be completed within 18 months \u2014 and a second USD 200 mn second phase.<\/p>\n

Once fully up and running, the project will produce 100k tons via the chlor-alkali process a year<\/strong> and is expected to create 800 jobs.<\/p>\n

The factory is good news for our import bill and localization efforts, given all the things <\/strong>we use the chlor-alkali process for. <\/strong>The chlor-alkali process uses electricity to break down saltwater into chlorine gas, hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide \u2014 key chemicals used in numerous industries and everyday items. Chlorine is used to purify water and make plastics, sodium hydroxide can be used to make paper, soap, and textiles, while hydrogen is used in fertilizers, refining crude oil, and more.\u201dFrom an economic standpoint, the project opens up wide prospects for downstream and complementary industries, while enhancing Egypt\u2019s capacity to secure its needs for strategic products used across various vital sectors,\u201d said SCZone head Walid Gamal El Din<\/p>\n

But what makes the chemical production facility green? <\/strong>The project gets its green credentials by relying on solar power, wind energy, electricity, and natural gas for its energy needs. \u201cThe project is not merely a large industrial facility but a fully integrated system built upon the principles of environmental sustainability, utilizing diverse clean energy sources to power the production units. This represents an inspiring model for establishing a green chemical industry aligned with Egypt\u2019s national vision for transitioning to a green economy,\u201d said Gamal El Din.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu? <\/strong>We first heard about the project when Befar inked a land usufruct agreement for the project during the Forum of China\u2013Africa Cooperation held in Beijing back in September 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
