Foundations for the sustainability of the LNG supply chain in Egypt and the logistics services supporting it

Abstract

Natural gas has recently become the preferred fuel for many countries at the global level, whether rich or poor, due to its relatively low price and the lack of harmful emissions to the environment resulting from it compared to oil and coal, as the proportion of carbon dioxide in natural gas is 30% less than oil and 45% less than Coal and therefore the major countries in Europe and America depend on it in many fields, whether in industry, power generation or heating. The major industrial countries in Europe and America face a major problem in their natural gas reserves due to the Russian-Ukrainian war and the suspension of Russian gas supplies to Europe in Nord Stream pipelines 1 and 2. Accordingly, Egypt seeks to become a regional center for the production, liquefaction and export of gas in the Middle East, especially after the discovery of the Zohr field and the realization of a surplus in natural gas production. the study seeks to demonstrate the foundations for the sustainability of the LNG supply chain in Egypt and the logistics supporting services it, starting from the places where it is extracted to its export or consumption, especially in light of the global trend towards preserving the environment, reducing emissions, using environmentally friendly energy sources and achieving environmental sustainability standards.
