The construction of the GCC railway network connecting Qatar to the neighbouring Saudi Arabia will kick off soon, reported Doha News, citing the country’s transport minister. The 2,177-km Gulf Railway is a proposed railway system connecting all six GCC countries in Eastern Arabia. The project, expected to cost $250 billion, will be shared by these countries in accordance with the length of the rail network in their territories. Each of the six nations will be responsible for implementing the portion of the project that lies within their territory, whilst also constructing their own railway lines, branch stations and freight terminals, stated the report. Given their size, the UAE and Saudi Arabia will spend the most on the project, followed by Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. Qatar Rail will develop the network in the country, while it will be done by Etihad Rail in the UAE and Oman Rail in the sultanate, it added. “All necessary groundwork to implement the grand project has been completed, including the detailed engineering designs and work plan,” Jassim Seif Ahmed Al Sulaiti told Doha News.

Egypt strengthens its presence in the green hydrogen market with a new investment
Man and Taqa, have teamed together for a green hydrogen pilot project in Egypt. Egypt's green hydrogen development is being reported on. Two private businesses have chosen to collaborate on a pilot initiative to develop this alternative energy. Man Energy Solutions is a company that specialises in the manufacture of diesel engines and heavy-duty turbo gear. The Augsburg-based firm will collaborate with Taqa Power, a Cairo-based affiliate of the Taqa Arabia Group. Man Energy Solutions will supply technical information to Taqa Power on the utilisation of electrolysis for a hydrogen plant solution as part of the cooperation. The process of transforming electrical energy into chemical energy, especially hydrogen, is known as electrolysis. The manufacture of green hydrogen is thus enabled by the transformation of clean electricity. "This is an intriguing project with a valuable partner in a country that recognises the critical role of green hydrogen in the transition to a global economy that is climate neutral. It's also a great chance for Man Energy Solutions to show off its knowledge at every level of the hydrogen economy's evolution. Ghassan Saab, Head of Energy Business at Man Energy Solutions, says, "We look forward to working closely with Taqa Power to develop the ideal solution that will enable them to position themselves strongly in what will be one of the most important markets of the future."

Egypt builds a huge treatment plant to solve the Giza water crisis
Egypt builds a huge treatment plant to solve the Giza water crisis The Egyptian government has announced the construction of a large water station known as "Dahab Island" in the hopes of alleviating the drinking water crisis in Giza Governorate. After pilot tests, Major General Ahmed Rashid, Governor of Giza, announced that Dahab Island will be operational in its second phase, with a production capacity of 160,000 metres per day. Rasheed stated that operating the plant in its two phases will greatly ease water pressure and availability concerns impacting some districts in Giza. The first phase was finished and started in 2019. The expansions to the Dahab Island plant will cost EGP 640 million in total. The water is purified at the Dahab Island treatment plant utilising sophisticated DynaSand technology, which filters water constantly via sand. In Egypt, fast sand filtration is used in the majority of water treatment plants. Egypt has 146 sewage treatment plants with a total daily capacity of five million cubic metres, with a total cost of 29.5 billion pounds and a cost of 10,000 pounds to treat a cubic metre of water, according to the official.
