CAIRONov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Egyptian LNG has awarded a feasibility study contract to the Bechtel-led Coalition for Decarbonization, which includes Enppi, Petrojet, Baker Hughes, GE Digital, HSBC and NBE.

The project fully supports the Methane Global Pledge signed by HE Abdel Fattah Al-SisiPresident of Egyptin June 2022. LNG will play a key role in providing reliable, responsible and sustainable energy Europe according to the trilateral agreement signed between Egyptthe European Union and Israel earlier this year.

The project is part of a broader program between the coalition and Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources aimed at decarbonising and upgrading existing oil and gas assets across the country Egypt climate protection strategy.
