In line with Egypt’s ambition to be a global energy trading hub and its target to reduce 10% greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the seventh edition of the Egypt Energy Show (EGYPES) is set to introduce the CLIMATECH Challenge, an initiative that is a collective response to climate change, featuring start-ups that are creating value and offering innovative solutions to accelerate net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Taking place on Wednesday 14th February 2024, as part of the EGYPES Future Energy Zone, the CLIMATECH Challenge will serve as a platform for start-ups to showcase their groundbreaking climate technology and business models in front of a panel of influential judging committee members comprising investors, c-level executives, top government officials, thought leaders and an audience of senior energy executives.

The Challenge will bring together energy industry visionaries, investors, and disruptive start-ups, with the aim of highlighting the emerging climate technology that will enable the transition towards a low-carbon energy system. In addition to start-up pitches, attendees can expect a well-curated lineup of keynote speeches, motivational talks, and interactive panel discussions, all tailored to nurture the rise of climate-tech ventures in a collective response to combat climate change.

Commenting on the launch of the event, Salman Abou Hamzeh, Senior Vice President of DMG Events, stated, “We stand at a critical juncture in the current energy landscape where innovation and climate-centric technologies hold the key to a decarbonised future, and start-ups have a pivotal role in guiding us through this transformation.”

He added, “The EGYPES 2024 CLIMATECH Challenge provides the opportunity for start-ups to present their innovative technological solutions before an influential judging committee, propelling their business growth and positioning them as catalysts in the journey towards net-zero.”

The CLIMATECH Challenge is open to start-ups worldwide that are serving the energy transition with clean energy technologies. Five businesses will be chosen from the initial pool of applicants and invited to pitch to a jury of industry leaders.

Start-ups will be evaluated on the innovation of their climate tech, the potential market size and growth prospects, their scalability and revenue generating avenues, the composition of their team, as well as their investment potential.

The judges will determine the first-place winner of the CLIMATECH Challenge, while the audience will decide the second-place winner, known as the ‘people’s choice’ award. The winning startup will receive a prize to support the growth of their business. Furthermore, the Challenge offers an unparalleled opportunity to provide the shortlisted start-ups with post-event mentorship, unrivalled networking opportunities, and extensive media coverage.

The EGYPES 2024 CLIMATECH Challenge welcomes disruptive startups to propose their inventions and climate technologies for a greener tomorrow. Submit your application to enter the competition here: www.egypes.com/climatechallenge

Nigeria’s Tetracore Energy Group steps up local content development with new training programme

The Tetracore Energy Group, a fast-growing gas and power solutions provider based out of Nigeria, has launched a unique graduate management training program in Lagos last week. The initiative is part of the company’s commitment to grow domestic capacity and local content, as a time when African markets are rapidly expanding their domestic gas value-chains. The inaugural program includes 12 young professionals who will receive intensive training around gas, power and new energy, behavioral and soft skills, and business management skills. Tetracore aims at developing their talents and equipping them with the competences they need to solve some of Nigeria’s most pressing energy challenges around gas distribution, clean energy, and power systems. “Growing Nigeria’s energy sector requires the training of capable, competent, driven, and ambitious Nigerian young professionals. As we expand Tetracore’s footprint and welcome new investors, it is of strategic importance that we develop the skills and the manpower the company needs to deliver its sustainable energy solutions,” CEO Olakunle Williams said during the launch ceremony. Nigeria is recognized globally for having one of the most successful local content development frameworks. Under the oversight of the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB), the country has successfully built capacity across the oil & gas sector and saw the establishment of several local businesses from upstream to downstream. However, rapidly evolving technologies and the rapid expansion of Nigeria’s midstream and downstream gas industry requires a new set of skills and competences. Private sector companies must continue to invest in workforce development and talent management as a matter of competitiveness and sustainability. Over the past three years, Tetracore has proven its commitment of building a true pan-African energy company and building local capacity along the way. In December 2020, it was amongst the first local businesses to commission its own locally assembled 15 MMscf/d gas Pressure Regulating and Metering Stations (PRMS) and has continued to grow domestic capacity ever since.

UAE finance initiative aims to unlock Africa’s clean energy potential

A landmark initiative that brings together public, private, and development capital from UAE institutions, is providing $4.5 billion in funding to boost Africa’s energy transition efforts as the continent looks to close an energy deficit that has left 600 million people without access to electricity. The UAE finance initiative is drawing its support from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI), Masdar, and AMEA Power – all UAE based institutions with experience funding and developing renewable energy projects in emerging markets. Africa50, an investment platform formed by African governments and the Africa Development Bank (AfDB), is also part of the UAE finance initiative. The COP28 President-Designate, H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, announced the launch of the initiative during a keynote address at the inaugural African Climate Summit last week in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. “This initiative builds on the UAE’s track record of commercially driven, innovative blended finance solutions that can be deployed to promote the adoption of clean energy in emerging and developing nations,” President-Designate Dr. Sultan Al Jaber said in an official statement, adding the multi-stakeholder partnership approach will accelerate sustainable economic progress, address the challenge of climate change and stimulate low carbon growth. The initiative comes amid calls for the global tripling of renewable energy by 2030, while pushing to make finance more available, accessible and affordable, especially in Africa where an abundance of renewable energy potential remains largely untapped. Unlocking Africa’s clean energy potential with reforms According to findings from the International Energy Agency (IEA), Africa is home to 60% of the world’s best solar resources, yet has only 1% of installed solar generation capacity. For the continent to unlock its clean energy potential, African countries will need to improve policy and regulatory frameworks to attract the long-term investments needed to speed up the deployment of clean and renewable energy. “The initiative will prioritize investments in countries across Africa with clear transition strategies, enhanced regulatory frameworks and a master plan for developing grid infrastructure that integrates supply and demand,” Al Jaber said, noting the initiative is designed to work with Africa and for Africa. “It aims to clearly demonstrate the commercial case for clean investment across this continent. And it will act as a scalable model that can be replicated to help put Africa on a superhighway to low carbon growth.” While delivering greater access to clean energy has been known to drive social and economic development, the COP 28 President-Designate adds that current investment in African renewables represents only 2 percent of the global total, and less than a quarter of the US$60 billion a year the continent needs by 2030. The initiative seeks to correct this imbalance by bringing key stakeholders together to speed up the delivery of relevant measures, including that of infrastructure, to close the gap in universal clean energy access. Unlocking capital for clean power The initiative will form part of Etihad 7, a development platform launched by the UAE to raise 20GW in renewable energy capacity and provide 100 million people across the African continent with clean electricity by 2035. To catalyze private sector action, ADFD is funding the initial investment with US$1 billion of financial assistance to address basic infrastructure needs, offer innovative finance solutions and increase mobilization of private investments. The ECI is providing US$ 500 million of credit insurance to de-risk and unlock private capital. Masdar, one of the world’s largest clean energy companies, active in 22 countries in Africa, is committing an additional US$2 billion of equity as part of the new initiative. Masdar has been moving into the renewable energy sector in Africa as part of the Etihad 7 programme. In January, the company announced it signed an agreement with Angola, Uganda and Zambia to develop renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of up to 5 gigawatts (GW) as part of the programme. With the UAE finance initiative, the company aims to mobilize an additional US$8 billion in project finance through its Infinity Power platform, targeting the delivery of 10 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy capacity in Africa by 2030. AMEA Power looks to install 5GW of renewable energy capacity in the continent by 2030, mobilizing US$5 billion, of which US$1 billion will come from equity commitment, and US$4 billion from project finance. The company has been active in Africa for several years already. Earlier this year, it notably executed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with GreenCo Power Services (GreenCo) for an 85MW solar PV power plant in South Africa as an energy crisis pushes more demand for alternative sources of power in one of Africa’s biggest economies. The initiative is also pursuing pathways for other multilateral development banks, governments, and philanthropies to catalyze additional private sector investment. At the inaugural African Climate Summit in Nairobi, the COP28 Presidency called for others including international financial institutions (IFIs) and foundations to join the effort to convert words into actions.
