European countries extract renewed energy from Morocco and Egypt to “wash” their economies, while leaving North Africa dependent on dirty imported fuels and paying environmental costs, a Greenpeace The report says.
both of them Morocco Egypt aims to benefit from its strategic locations in the southern Mediterranean, and their solar capabilities and wind energy, to put themselves as a pivotal in Europe’s endeavor to diversify energy supplies.
The Greenpeace report argues that renewable projects and low -carbon carbon carbon carbon that produce export energy hinder the ability of the two countries to remove carbon from their own economies, clarify the local population and consume millions of fresh water, in some cases in environments in which they were already rare.
At the same time, both Egypt Morocco also remains two net importers of fossil fuel energy, as they buy large quantities of oil and gas to provide their economies, while selling their cleaner energy to Europe, according to the report.
After the outbreak of the war between Ukraine and Russia, European energy companies paid billions of dollars in Egypt to reach gas reserves in the country, as they requested alternatives to a cubic meter 80 billion (2.8 cubic Treen) of Russian gas suddenly from the market.
However, geological formations are disrupted due to excessive gas and oil companies have led to soil erosion and pollution, and water supply pollution, says Greenpis, on the pretext that the Egyptians have benefited from this.
Now, the report says that Egypt “increases its domestic use of dirty fuel such as Mazut – a mixture of heavy hydrocarbons that contain toxins such as sulfids and heavy minerals – with the aim of freeing more gas to export to Europe.”
However, according to one Thinktank, Egypt will need an international investment if there is an infrastructure and industry building that it needs to expand its renewed sector quickly. The Atlantic Council argues: “With smart, aspirations, and strategic investments from the Egyptian government, as well as strong international partnerships, Egypt can become a global center for clean energy.”
In Morocco, Totalenergies invested 10.6 billion dollars (8.4 billion pounds) at the Hydrogen and Akhdar Hydrogen Factory in the name Gilim, with the start of production in 2027, and Germany also adhered to up to 300 million euros (250 million pounds) for green hydrogen facilities, with Both projects aim to export markets.
