Using solar energy in industry to face climate change
To reduce the CO2 resulting from the use of fossil fuels to generate electrical energy needed to operate the small factories / workshops.
Installing 7 solar power stations, grid-connected, with each station having a capacity of 5 kilowatts, totaling 35 kilowatts for industrial workshops engaged in ready-made clothing, paper manufacturing, leatherworks, handicrafts, and smart lighting devices. This initiative aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions resulting from fossil fuel usage in electricity generation and promote energy efficiency. The project targets 150 industrial beneficiaries during its operational lifespan, legally licensed to receive electricity through legal means. During the project's lifespan, the cash contribution ratio of the project should not exceed 75% of the station's value, with the association and the community contributing 25% of the station's value, paid once upon contracting. This allows factories to reduce energy costs, streamline energy usage, and increase industrial returns, enabling them to compete in markets by lowering product and service values. Consequently, this encourages environmental conservation and spreads economic, social, and environmental benefits within the industrial community. This effort, in addition to raising environmental and economic awareness, is expected to expand solar energy utilization to reduce harmful emissions leading to global warming.
"Raising environmental awareness within Giza Governorate's industrial sector about the risks of climate change and its impact on public health, emphasizing the economic impact of utilizing new and renewable energy sources (solar energy). This will be achieved through organizing seminars and public conferences attended by 200 individuals of both genders, alongside experts in the field. Five seminars are planned across the project's targeted centers, aiming to attract new beneficiaries and elucidate the economic, social, and environmental impacts on their industrial community. The objective is to enhance their understanding of the reliability of solar energy, demonstrating its capability to supply their factories with necessary energy at a lower cost in the short and long term
