What the Global North can learn from Egypt’s Hydrogen Success
A recent study from Karadeniz Technical University [40.9°N, 39.5°E] has explored Egypt’s potential to become a global leader in hydrogen production. The research found that, thanks to abundant solar and wind resources, Egypt could produce low-cost hydrogen for both domestic use and export, with production costs as low as €3.68/kg (£3.15/kg) for solar-based hydrogen. What … Continue reading What the Global North can learn from Egypt’s Hydrogen Success
