The Mediterranean Complex
The small railway halt of Al-Alamein is famous as the site of the historical battle that changed the course of the Second World War in 1942.
On this same coastline, The Mediterranean Petrochemical Complex would stand today at the intersection of national ambition and global opportunity. This transformative project is designed to anchor industrial growth in one of the country’s most strategically positioned economic zones, offering direct access to European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, while supporting Egypt’s broader vision for sustainable, export-driven development.
Optimised for Carbon Performance
The Mediterranean Petrochemical Complex is designed for maximum carbon efficiency, featuring 100% crude-to-chemicals conversion with minimal waste or byproducts. Advanced process technology, heat integration, and carbon capture systems reduce emissions intensity, while a modular layout enables long-term adaptability. With optimised logistics, low water use, and a low-carbon supply chain, the complex meets global ESG standards while maintaining strong operational and environmental performance.
