As you can see from the number of international attendances, Cairo looks to offer unprecedented participation from the global energy community for energy dialogue of global significance. The event is held under the patronage of His Excellency Abdel Fattah el Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, supported by the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

EGYPES 2024 is set to steer thought leadership in climate-conscious and sustainable energy production, highlighting the multitude of opportunities that arise from a responsible energy transition. Anticipating participation from over 35,000 attendees and 2,200 delegates. Gain direct access to the primary stakeholders involved in the region’s upcoming projects investing more than $1 billion in the oil and natural gas sector in the Western Desert region of Egypt.

 

Whereas, having such vast deserts on your doorstep, begs the question why is nobody investing in solar farms and hydrogen production via electrolyzers? Investment in fossil fuels might be counter productive, in any argument for gentle transitioning, when investments are going the wrong way. Global warming and the need to cool the planet should be the first priority.

 

With that fairly and squarely on the drawing board, then, we might discuss change, but not before. Otherwise, this show is more about delaying technology swap, while extra $dollars are squeezed out, at the expense of more towns burning in Canada and Greece. That would be just as unfair as not helping Arabia to adjust technology wise, to conserve their long term fossil fuel assets, and make just as much by way of energy exports, in the production of sustainable hydrogen - and hydrogen compounds.

 

You may have noticed the Egypes agenda as published, is slanted more towards mitigation, than transition. Of course, this helps incrementally, but does not tackle the root cause.

EGYPES provides an ultimate business platform where country pavilions convene to boost bilateral trade, discuss commerce and innovation. Join 28 NOCs, IOCs & IECs along with 500+ exhibiting companies.

 

The land of the Pharaohs and Pyramids is an ideal location to meet and discuss using the vast deserts as a resource to generate virtually unlimited electricity. Egypt and surrounding nations literally bask in solar energy. The land is steeped in historical wonder at the Sun, as the giver of life, and provider of energy for crops to grow.

EGYPES 2024 welcomed the international energy community from 19 - 21 February 2024 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center to address energy transition, security and decarbonisation globally. The Middle East claims to lead the conversation around a fair and equitable energy transition and energy future. At the nexus between North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, it is fair to say that Egypt is emerging as a gateway to new energy frontiers, as well as being a potentially attractive investment and partner destination in its own right.

The event promised to be an immersive experience to collectively pave the way towards achieving ambitious decarbonisation goals, experience the EGYPES Future Energy Zone & Theatre to play your role in becoming a catalyst for shaping a sustainable future on the road to net-zero. According to their website, they are showcasing solutions in: 

Decarbonisation | Hydrogen Fuel | Desulphurisation | Transitional Fuels | Climate Tech | Methane Reduction | Renewable Energy | Net-Zero Innovations | Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage

 

 

 

 

 

CLIMA-TECH CHALLENGE

With a rich programme of keynote speeches, motivational talks and panel discussions, the Challenge gathered global energy industry visionaries, investors, change-makers, and emerging start-ups, to showcase the critical innovations and groundbreaking climate technologies that are creating value and offering innovative solutions to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Showcasing solutions in: 

Renewable Energy | Energy Storage | Energy Efficiency | Carbon Offsetting | Direct Air Capture | Climate Analytics | Hydrogen Fuel Cells | Environmental Sensors | CCUS | Circular Economy 

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS PROGRAMME

The Young Professionals programme extended its impact across an on-site and off-site learning experiences that actively engaged high school and university students within the framework of STEM Education, with expansions into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Engagement initiatives featuring: 

 

Race to Zero Game | Zero-Carbon City | Green Energy Village | Technology Zone | Engineering Zone | Industrial Field Trips | Youth Competition | Expo Tours | Youth Talks | Volunteer Programme

 

We look forward to EGYPES 2025, to see how the 2024 event may have helped to shape the future of transition, and the more to electrolyzers, solar electricity (and infrastructure) and the production and storage of green hydrogen, or green methanol. And of course, fuel cells, or indeed, methanol powered IC diesel engines, like that developed by JCB.

 

No doubt, much of the discourse of the 2024 Egyptian energy show, will be on the agenda for COP29 to be held in Azerbaijan in November.
