Egypt participated in the BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting, held in Brasilia, Brazil, as part of its membership in the bloc and in line with the Ministry of Petroleum's strategy to enhance energy cooperation.
Egypt was represented at the meeting by Alaa al Batal, First Undersecretary and Supervisor for Health, Occupational Safety and Environment (HSE), Energy Efficiency, and Climate Affairs.
He praised the importance of the meeting and the member states' commitment to achieving sustainable development and global climate goals.
Al Batal emphasized that this year witnessed the development of a roadmap for cooperation until 2030, achieving a balance between reliance on fossil fuels and the transition to sustainable energy systems. He also launched a dialogue between BRICS and the New Development Bank (NDB) to encourage investments in the energy transition and ensure energy access.
He pointed out that the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum has established six axes to guide its efforts in achieving sustainable transformation. The ministry aims to increase the percentage of electricity generated from renewable sources to 42% by 2030, as part of the updated energy strategy until 2040, while accelerating carbon reduction and diversifying sources in line with Egypt Vision 2030.
He highlighted Egypt's expansion in sustainable fuel projects, such as the bioethanol project and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), in addition to its efforts to produce low-carbon hydrogen, having launched a national strategy and approved an incentive law, along with the Damietta project to produce green ammonia in partnership with (ECHEM) and (MOPCO).
