Egypt has launched a unified digital environmental data registry for industrial facilities to support green transformation and compliance with international requirements.
The Ministry of Local Development and Environment announced the launch of the new system that will create a national database covering emissions, fuel, water and energy use, waste data and export-related information linked to the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
Minister Manal Awad said the platform simplifies registration and reporting procedures and connects relevant government bodies through one digital portal, including the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, the Ministry of Industry, the Industrial Development Authority and the Ministry of Electricity.
Industry Minister Khaled Hashem said the platform represents an important step toward accelerating the green transition in Egypt’s industrial sector and improving the competitiveness of Egyptian exports.
Further development phases will link the platform to inspection and violation systems, interactive maps and other government bodies, including the Waste Management Regulatory Authority, the Ministry of Investment and the General Organization for Export and Import Control.
