Seminar
PPP & Renewable Energy in Egypt
16 January 2012
The Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce and Egyptian Businessmen’s Association (EBA) are organising a ‘Seminar on PPP & Renewable Energy in Egypt’ taking place on 16 January 2012 at the EBA in Cairo.
Like wind and solar, landfill-gas is a renewable source of energy endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency as an alternative to fossil fuels, such as natural gas, coal and oil. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) operations are able to contribute significantly to the overall energy supply of Egypt. Landfills gas can power homes and businesses, and can also be made into fuel. In other words, it is time to convert Egypt’s waste management issues into a renewable energy solution by expanding the WtE capacity.
New research and development has led to combined solar-waste projects where both operations complement each other to create more energy. Particularly solar panel capping on landfills is proving a popular waste management solution in recent years.
This seminar will discuss Egypt’s potential for solar and waste-to-energy projects, using the PPP financing scheme. It brings British firms with expertise in these fields to Egypt to discuss opportunities for collaboration to further develop these industries.
