In Egypt, we are active in the development and production of hydrocarbons and the implementation of gas projects. We also operate in the refining and marketing of crude oil products. We participate in the Damietta natural gas liquefaction plant. We contribute to the growth and decarbonization of the country's energy sector. We are evaluating circular economy projects, collaborations in the field of technology to reduce emissions and feasibility studies to start hydrogen production in the country. We have launched several local development initiatives in the country, also through the Eni Foundation.

Access to water and sanitationWe carry out our activities in the Gulf of Suez, the Nile Delta and the Western Desert. We are involved in hydrocarbon production with the Zohr, Nooros, Baltim W and Meleiha projects. We are consolidating our presence in the Mediterranean region also with the Damietta gas liquefaction plant, where we operate in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector. We promote the export of gas to secure Europe and Italy's energy supply, we promote the export of gas in collaboration with Cyprus, with Egypt processing and liquefying gas extracted from the Cronos field discovered in the Cypriot offshore. With the Meleiha Phase 2 project, Eni in Egypt achieved zero routine flaring ahead of the original plan.

In agreement with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), the technical and commercial feasibility of projects for the production of green hydrogen by using electricity generated from renewable sources and blue hydrogen by storing CO2 in depleted natural gas fields is being assessed. We have started up a 14 MWp photovoltaic plant in the Abu Rudeis field, which contributes to CO2 reduction, and we are present in the Egyptian retail market through Gastec. Thanks to this, we have built an important network of integrated stations under the brand Eni for the sale of liquid fuels, lubricants and non-oil products and services. These activities we have started in Egypt change the way we produce and consume energy and further support our progress towards decarbonization.
Our activities in Egypt aim to have a positive impact on communities. Social responsibility initiatives are currently in progress. They include socio-economic, educational and health support programmes, also thanks to the contribution of the Eni Foundation. Among the most noteworthy projects is the work we carried out to reduce water leakage at the Abu Madi site, which resulted in a significant decrease in the withdrawal of fresh water supplied by third parties. The activities to promote local development launched in the city of Port Said are running in parallel with economic diversification projects for communities living in the South Sinai and Matrouh areas.

From oil and gas extraction to local development, we share the country's journey towards the energy transition.
Key step for Egypt’s role in the Eastern Mediterranean: gas discovered in the Cypriot offshore will be processed in Egypt and exported to European markets.
The Nargis-1 well is located in the Nargis Offshore Area concession in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and will be developed by exploiting its proximity to our other existing infrastructure.
The agreement aims to promote Egyptian gas exports to Europe and Italy and will make it possible to maximise gas production and LNG exports.
Eni signed an agreement with Egyptian Electricity Holding Company and Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of projects to produce hydrogen.
Agreement for the restart of the Damietta plant by the first quarter of 2021
The company took its first steps on Egyptian soil.
The largest natural gas field north of Port Said thanks to our offshore exploration capabilities.
We initiated programmes for local area development, supporting training, economic diversification and the health system.
