Project Description

Egypt has set ambitious climate targets under its updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Climate Strategy 2050, including 42% renewable electricity by 2030 and significant sectoral emissions reductions, while positioning itself as a regional energy hub. Achieving these goals requires decarbonising hard-to-abate industries such as cement, steel, and petrochemicals, where emissions are largely process-related.

Project Description

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is one of the few scalable solutions to address these emissions, but Egypt currently lacks a comprehensive policy, legal, and regulatory framework, particularly on permitting, CO₂ transport and storage, long-term liability, and MRV. To address this, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (“MoPMR”) has requested support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD”) to develop an enabling environment for CCUS.

The assignment aims to design a fit-for-purpose CCUS framework tailored to Egypt, helping attract investment, enable project implementation, and strengthen institutional capacity.

In this context, EBRD is seeking to engage a “Consultant” to provide targeted technical assistance to the Government of Egypt, through MoPMR, to support the design and development of a policy, legal, and regulatory framework for CCUS. This framework will lay the foundations for the effective deployment of CCUS projects in Egypt, enhance investor confidence, and support industrial decarbonisation.

The main objective of this assignment is to support the MoPMR, in coordination with relevant ministries and entities, in the design and development of a comprehensive policy, legal, and regulatory framework for CCUS in Egypt.

The expected outcomes of this technical assistance include the following:

1. Recommendations for developing specific policy, legal and regulatory framework for CCUS, including options for the authorities to support decision making on optimal models for enabling CCUS development in Egypt.
2. A detailed roadmap with concrete action plan to allow authorities to plan the next steps
3. Pre-feasibility study for a selected pilot CCUS project implementation.
4. Clarification of the regulatory classification of CCUS activities, distinguishing regulated monopoly infrastructure (CO₂ transport and storage) from competitive activities, and define the applicable economic regulation principles.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2025. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the Information Request form.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy 2024 or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism page to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
