Egypt SCzone to launch bunkering service at East Port Said Port, Ain Sokhna Port in few days

CAIRO – 28 May 2023: Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCzone) Walid Gamal Al Din stated during his participation at the EBRD's 32nd Annual Meeting and Business Forum that the bunkering service will be launched in a few days at East Port Said Port and Ain Sokhna Port.

The SCzone chairman added that green fuel bunkering would be available soon, as a number of MoUs were signed to establish green hydrogen and green ammonia plants. The first of which began operation in November during COP 27 with a capacity of 100 megawatts.

In 2022, Egypt signed 23 MoUs in the field of green hydrogen production. Of those, 10 were converted into framework agreements, including nine whose value is $85 billion and that would create 45,000 direct jobs and 230,000 indirect jobs.
