City Zones
Energy and Industrial Zone
At the heart of innovation and production, this zone powers the city's growth. Here, industries and energy infrastructure work together to drive progress and build a sustainable future. Cutting-edge technologies and heavy machinery create a thriving industrial landscape.
Solar Energy
Libya has an average solar radiation of 2,470 kilo watt hours per square meter, per day (Kwh/m2/day),which is one of the highest solar radiations in the world.
Wind Energy
Libya also enjoyed high average wind speeds at several on and off-shore locations – with several locations enjoying an average wind speed of higher than 6 meters/second. Libya offers attractive global locations for wind farms.
Modern-oriented industrial area
An Industrial locality following a modern and sustainable orientation, an area with modern technical infrastructure. Prioritized industries include mechanics and manufacturing, and farm produce and food processing.
Green Hydrogen
Pure water, renewable energy, and electrolysis, that's all it takes to produce green hydrogen. The result is a technological advancement that will enable the decarbonization of a wide range of industries - not in the future, but today.
Ammonia Production
Ammonia production is expected to expand by 40% over the next 30 years, and hydrogen will be a critical part of that expansion. Currently the ammonia industry is responsible for 1.8% of total carbon dioxide emissions, so there’s significant opportunity to reduce carbon emissions across the world.
Methanol Production
Hydrogen is utilized in methanol production, where hydrogen interacts with carbon monoxide in order to produce the chemical feedstock. By substituting clean hydrogen in the hydrogenation process, emissions can be reduced.
Steelmaking
Steel making is an industry that is beginning to trial using hydrogen to reduce emissions in the steel manufacturing process. Steelmaking requires a high level of heat which typically utilizes coal for both high temperatures and chemical reactions in the process.
Concrete Production
When it comes to utilizing hydrogen in concrete production, researchers are in the experimental testing stage. Hydrogen can’t be directly substituted as an ingredient or reactant in currently utilized cement production methods, so alternative approaches are needed.
Oil Refining
Utilizing hydrogen for oil refining is another area where clean hydrogen can reduce carbon emissions. Oil usage is essential for the world economy, and is expected to peak in demand by approximately 2040, so there is significant opportunities to reduce carbon emissions in the oil refining process.
