A report from the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen during the fourth quarter of 2021 highlighted Egypt’s strong contribution to boosting gas exports from Arab countries during 2021.

The largest growth contribution, as the OAPEC report showed, came from Egypt during the last quarter of the year as the two liquefaction plants in Egypt have resumed work at full capacity.

During Q4 of 2021, Egypt exported around 2.1 million tons of gas, compared to 1 million tons exported during the same period of 2020. This comes as the Damietta and Idku liquefication plants worked at full capacity, exporting a total of 6.5 million tons via the two plants in 2021, compared to 1.5 million tons in 2020.
