Egypt ties hydrogen tram project to feasibility study with Hyundai

Egypt's tunnel authority chief has said the hydrogen tram project's execution depends on a feasibility study being prepared with South Korea's Hyundai.

• Tarek Gawely announced during a tour of the fourth metro line workshop that the final implementation decision awaits the study's results.
• He said the study assesses construction, operation, and maintenance costs, infrastructure requirements, and ways to secure the hydrogen fuel.
• Gawely said the study explores establishing a dedicated hydrogen production plant in an industrial zone to supply the tram sustainably.
• He said they are examining investment models under which the implementing company shares project investment and handles operation and maintenance.
