Project Description

The aviation sector is a high greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter and will require significant effort to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Efficiency, fuel switching, new technologies and carbon removals are the key levers for GHG reductions. Global low-carbon pathways for aviation sector suggest that to 2050 over half of cumulative emissions reductions will come from Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), with a significant contribution on an annual basis from 2030 onwards. In the EU, SAFs are a key lever for aviation decarbonisation, and substantial fuel blending requirements are anticipated to be introduced as part of the proposed Fit for 55 package of measures.

At the international level, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has recently (October 2022) adopted a long-term aspirational goal (LTAG) of net-zero emissions by 2050. Whilst the net-zero emissions aspirational goal indicates differentiated responsibilities of member states, the trajectory is clear for all parties and aligning with the goal will require significant scale-up in SAFs.

The Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding Company (ECHEM) on behalf of the project company, aims to establish a plant to produce SAF in Egypt. The project objective is to produce 120 ktpa of SAF by utilizing the locally available used cooking oil (UCO) as the main feedstock.

In this context, EBRD is seeking a Consultant to provide insight to ECHEM and the project company on the possibilities of SAF development in Egypt.

The main objective of this assignment is to analyse the feasibility of the production of SAF in Egypt and prepare the initial stages of the project.

The assignment will be divided in two phases, and based on the results from Phase 1, EBRD and the stakeholders will decide if the assignment will continue to Phase 2.

• Phase 1: Scope Definition
• Phase 2: Feasibility Study

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 2020. 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 EBRD Enquiries 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 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 webpage 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.
