By blending renewable green hydrogen, produced from sweetened water, directly with carbon dioxide, through technology Fisher Trubsch Industrial, one of the most important

sustainable solutions for reducing carbon emissions, seeks to be applied globally by many major industrial companies. In the Egyptian city of Alexandria, Egypt is close to completing a huge project that blends science and industry, based on converting carbon dioxide gas into clean energy, with the aim of transforming harmful substances into a useful value addition.

The project is based on the construction of a national semi-industrial system for the production of liquid green solar fuels to cope with climate changes resulting from the industrial CO2 gas, in the coastal province of Alexandria.

The project is also based on a system consisting of a CSU, supported by a multi-phase desalination unit, and a renewable green hydrogen clean water production unit. "

The project is implemented by the Center of Scientific Excellence for Graphene and its Applications in Energy and Electronics at the Egyptian-Japanese University, in Burj al-Arab City, Alexandria.

Project manager Ahmed Abdel-Moneim, who serves as President of the Center of Scientific Excellence for Graphene at Egyptian Japanese University, said: "Accordingly, the Egyptian-Japanese University in Alexandria, with the community support of the major industrial companies concerned, such as Izz Iron and Ethedico Ethylene Production and the Academy of Scientific Research, has begun to build the first national semi-industrial experimental model of an integrated solar liquid fuel production ecosystem.

He noted that this is done "through technology that converts emissions into synthetic liquids with added value. This technology uses dense CO2 emissions as a primary source of carbon with renewable green hydrogen from distilled seawater, to produce liquid fuels consisting of long hydrocarbon chains consisting of diesel and gasoline, and short olefanics with oxygen as a byproduct."

He also emphasized that the project "will add to Egypt local experiences gained for the first time, on how to integrate all the individual components of the model together".
