About Egypt
Egypt hosted COP27 in 2022 and has positioned itself as a green hydrogen and renewable energy hub for Europe, with the Benban solar park among the largest in the world. In practice, gas from the giant Zohr field dominates power generation, and Egypt is a growing LNG exporter. It has no net-zero target, arguing that developing nations need fiscal space.
