The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) has unveiled a purpose-built digital platform to monitor the carbon footprint of Egypt’s oil and gas sector, marking a significant step in the corporation’s twin commitments to digital transformation and environmental sustainability. The platform is an internal industry tool, restricted to sector use.
The system calculates emissions in line with international standards and best practices, ensuring standardised measurement across the corporation’s 140 affiliated companies — including 12 subsidiaries and 41 joint ventures spanning exploration, production, refining, drilling, engineering, and distribution. Its integrated data analytics and business intelligence capabilities enable real-time data processing, interactive performance dashboards, and precise emissions indicators designed to strengthen strategic planning and operational efficiency.
EGPC Assistant Chairman for Health, Safety and Environment Tamer Aiyesh described the petroleum sector as among the most environmentally compliant industries in Egypt, and emphasised ongoing efforts to modernise operations and gradually shift toward lower-emission processes. EGPC’s HSE Department Manager Shaimaa Sayed highlighted that the platform improves emissions management efficiency, strengthens regulatory compliance, and supports Egypt’s engagement with international climate frameworks.
A detailed implementation roadmap, covering activation phases, coordination mechanisms, and capacity-building programmes, was agreed at the launch workshop. The rollout is expected to begin shortly, with the platform eventually providing integrated carbon footprint reporting at the sector level.
