Egypt to centralise mazut distribution to cement plants amid power shortage

01 October 2024

Egypt: Starting in October 2024, the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources will centralise distribution of mazut to cement plants to ensure continued operations amidst the country's power shortages. Deputy PM Kamel El Wazir announced the plan, responding to requests from cement producers for a reliable fuel supply to maintain the stable production and distribution of cement.

Cement plants are required to submit a report on quarry material prices over the past three years, highlighting price increases and their impact on the industry. The Cement Division of the Building Materials Industry Chamber also requested consistent export support payments, the extension of investor rights to quarry resources, and the testing of pozzolanic cement for standard compliance.

09 September 2024

Egypt: Egypt's cement consumption is expected to drop to 45Mt in 2024, a decrease of 4% from 47Mt in 2023, reports Arab Finance newspaper. According to Ahmed Shireen, head of the cement division at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, the country is also projected to export 15Mt of cement. Local production capacity stands at 92Mt/yr.
