This week, we had the privilege of hosting the first meetings of the Executive and Technical Committees at RCREEE's headquarters in Cairo. These sessions were highly productive, generating numerous innovative ideas for the themes and agenda of the upcoming Cairo Sustainable Energy Week (CSEW). The organizing teams of Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and Birba had the chance to meet with some of our esteemed committee members.
The 3-day event, scheduled for October 1-3, will feature a series of thought-provoking conferences and workshops tackling critical global energy issues. Topics will include renewable energy, hydrogen fuel, energy storage, carbon sequestration, and clean fuels, all aimed at enhancing energy efficiency.
Discussions during the meetings focused on energy enablement in the MENA region and fostering better collaboration. Key themes proposed for include climate financing, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), artificial intelligence in renewable energy, green hydrogen and ammonia, carbon markets, and both technical and policy frameworks.
The Executive Committee meeting was chaired by Dr. Jauad El Kharraz, and the Technical Committee meeting was led by Maged Mahmoud. We are excited to incorporate these valuable insights into and look forward to the enriching discussions that will take place at the event. We extend our gratitude to all the members who participated in the first committee meeting for CSEW.
