Egypt Diesel Genset Market Synopsis
Egypt Diesel Genset Market is anticipated to witness modest growth during the forecast period. Diesel gensets in Egypt are heavily deployed across various domains such as commercial, industrial, and transportation to provide a reliable and uninterrupted power supply.
The growing electricity demand supported by the country's economic diversification plans such as Egypt Vision 2030, Egypt's long-term national development framework, along with the rising number of ongoing industrial projects such as the Industrial City in Atfih, Coal-Fired Power Plant (Hamrawein), El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant Coal-Fired Power Plant (Suez) are the key factors, which would drive the market for Diesel Genset Market in Egypt in the coming years.
The outburst of coronavirus has adversely impacted the country's Diesel Generator market in 2020 as the government imposed nationwide lockdown has led to the closure of all construction operations and disrupted the demand and supply of diesel gensets. However, the market is expected to recover post the pandemic.
According to the publisher, the Egyptian diesel genset market size is projected to grow at CAGR of 3.1% during 2021-27. Rapid industrialization has resulted in the increasing demand for a continuous and reliable electricity source, which is expected to drive the diesel Genset market in the coming years.
Further, the Industry and Trade Development Strategy, ICT strategy 2030, new customs law 2020, are a few of the government initiatives that aim to develop and strengthen public service sectors such as commercial, manufacturing, healthcare, ICT, and telecommunication, creating a massive demand for power backup equipment for the developmental activities and is anticipated to spur the DG Market.
Market Analysis by kVA Rating
On the basis of kVA rating, 375.1 kVA - 750 kVA rating is anticipated to register the highest growth mark in the overall market revenues in 2020. Diesel Genset with a rating of 375.1kVA - 750kVA, which are majorly deployed as power backup systems in the industrial and logistics sector, accounts for the significant market revenue share and is expected to retain its dominance over the forthcoming years.
Market Analysis by Application
Based on applications, the industrial vertical emerged as the dominating segment, in revenue terms in 2020 on account of widespread usage of gensets in factories and manufacturing plants. Power generation and oil & gas industries are the major users of diesel generators in the industrial segment.
As these processes are critical, they are generally backed by a secondary power source such as diesel gensets, to provide power in case of outages and to cater to additional load/power requirements.

Company awards more than $1.6M in Million Mile safety bonuses to drivers
LOWELL, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT), one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, recently recognized 116 company drivers for achieving two, three, four, and – for the first time in company history - five million miles driven without a preventable accident, awarding more than $1.6 million in safe driver bonuses. The drivers were honored over the past two weeks during the company’s annual Million Mile Celebration at corporate headquarters in Lowell, marking the 20th anniversary of the event.

Hunt. “It’s their unwavering commitment to be the very best at what they do that makes this accomplishment so special. We couldn’t do what we do without them.”
To commemorate the milestone, J.B. Hunt drivers and employees participated in the Million Mile Walk of Fame, an annual company tradition. The Million Mile drivers descended four flights of stairs lined with employees greeting them with cheers and applause to express appreciation for their safety efforts.
“We’ve been hosting this ceremony for 20 years, and I believe we’ll be doing it for 20 more,” said John Roberts, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt. “The atmosphere is electric. There’s so much excitement to celebrate our drivers and their achievements.”
The Million Mile Celebration is the premier event for J.B. Hunt drivers and their families. The company has hosted the ceremony since 2001 and has recognized Million Mile drivers dating back to 1971.

- Includes Milestone Commitment to Cut CO2 Emissions by a Quarter By 2030
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ConcreteFuture--Forty of the world’s leading cement and concrete manufacturers today join forces to accelerate the shift to greener concrete by pledging to cut CO2 emissions by a further 25% by 2030, marking a decisive step in the race to ‘Net Zero’ concrete by 2050.
The move by the members of the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) marks the biggest global commitment by an industry to net zero so far – bringing together companies from the Americas, Africa, Asia, including India and China, and Europe. It follows the September announcement during New York Climate Week that the GCCA has become the first global ‘heavy’ industry accelerator for the UN’s global Race to Zero. GCCA members account for 80% of the global cement industry volume outside of China, and also include several large Chinese manufacturers.
The GCCA has published a detailed roadmap which sets out the path that the industry will follow to fully decarbonize by 2050, a target aligned with the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The roadmap actions between now and 2030 will prevent almost 5 billion tonnes of carbon1 from entering the atmosphere compared to a business-as-usual scenario, equivalent to the CO2 emissions of almost 15 billion passenger flights from Paris to New York2.
Concrete is the most used human-made material on the planet with 14 billion cubic meters3 produced every year for use in everything from roads to bridges, tunnels to homes, and hydropower installations to flood defenses. Concrete is an essential element of construction, with no other material equaling its resilience, strength and wide availability. Production of cement, the key ingredient in concrete, accounts for around 7% of global CO2 emissions. The new 2030 commitment by the GCCA outlines a significant acceleration in the pace of industry decarbonization.
The roadmap to get there is built around a seven-point plan that relies on ambitious yet achievable actions to reduce the amount of CO2 intensive clinker in cement, significantly reduce fossil fuel use in manufacturing, and accelerate innovation in products, process efficiency and breakthrough technologies including carbon capture.
While the GCCA has outlined an ambitious programme for its members, it also calls on governments, designers and contractors to fully play their part by assembling the right public policies and investments to support the global scale transition of the industry. These include greater development of critical technologies such as carbon capture and storage, and reforms to public works procurement policy to encourage the use of low-carbon cement and concrete products. Public policy reforms and the promotion of low carbon products can make a big difference as public infrastructure accounts for almost 60% of all global cement and concrete demand.
Thomas Guillot, GCCA Chief Executive, said: “Concrete is the world’s most used building material and provides the foundation for renewable energy transition, resilient infrastructure and new homes around the world.”
He added: “Global cooperation on decarbonizing concrete is a necessity, as countries developing their infrastructure and housing will be the biggest users of concrete in the coming decades. I am proud of the commitment made by our members today to take decisive action and accelerate industry decarbonization between now and 2030, an important milestone towards the ultimate goal of net zero concrete. I envision a world in the not too distant future where the foundation of a sustainable, zero carbon global economy will literally be built with green concrete.
“We now need governments around the world to work with us and use their huge procurement power to advocate for low carbon concrete in their infrastructure and housing needs. We require their support to change regulation that limits the use of recycled materials and impedes the transition to a low carbon and circular economy,” said Mr Guillot.
GCCA member companies operate in almost every country of the world with a global cement and concrete market worth $440 billion4 annually and supporting a wider construction sector which represents 13% of global GDP5. The Association counts companies such as CEMEX, CNBM, CRH, HeidelbergCement, Holcim and Votorantim as members. The industry last year announced its ambition to fully decarbonize by 2050 and today is detailing its roadmap to achieve this goal.
António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, commented: “I invite all cement companies to join this vital endeavour. The transition cost should not be borne only by the first movers. I call on all governments and relevant actors to align public and private finance and procurement to create strong markets for net zero-aligned industrial production and develop national sectoral roadmaps towards net zero emissions. Three quarters of the infrastructure that will exist in 2050 has yet to be built. Without credible action now, future generations will have no liveable planet to build upon. The United Nations stands ready to support you in accelerating the transformation of your industry.”
Cao Jianglin, the CEO of China National Building Material Company Ltd (CNBM), said: “This is a landmark for industry co-operation in decarbonization. As part of a global industry, it will need collaboration across our sector to achieve it. As one of the leading cement and concrete producers in China, we will play our part in decarbonizing the industry.”
Albert Manifold, GCCA President and Group Chief Executive of CRH plc said: “This Roadmap represents a clear commitment to positive change across our industry and will allow us to sustainably transition to net zero while continuing to supply society with the concrete it needs to grow and prosper.”
The GCCA Global Net Zero Roadmap can be found here. The global launch coincides with the publication of a roadmap for the USA by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) for Carbon Neutrality6.

1 The roadmap put forward by GCCA will achieve 4.9 billion tonnes reductions of carbon between now and 2030 (GCCA Roadmap calculation).
2 ICAO calculates the carbon footprint of a flight between CDG and JFK as 333.6kg [Link] making the 5 billion tonne carbon saving equivalent to 14.9 billion passenger flights.
3 Equivalent to 32 billion tons of concrete
4 Global cement and concrete market equivalent to $439.2 billion [Link]
5 McKinsey Global Institute, Reinventing Construction [Link]
6 The GCCA partners with a number of national and regional cement and concrete associations across the world, many of which have already announced or are working on country based or globally regional net zero roadmaps, including the UK, Europe, LatAm and the USA.
The GCCA Roadmap to Net Zero sets out a seven-point plan to reduce emissions by another 25% over the next decade. This consists of:

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$XPRO #Octopoda--Leading provider of energy services, Expro (NYSE: XPRO), has successfully deployed its OctopodaTM annulus intervention system to restore annulus pressure integrity and return a well to production in Piedemonte region, in Colombia.
The Octopoda system successfully reached 300 meters in the annulus, a world record depth, and sealed the C annulus of the well. This removed the risk of casing collapse and gas migration to enable the well to produce and significantly extend its production lifespan.
Expro collaborated with its client to design and execute this high value-added intervention operation, which was completed at a cost that was estimated to be approximately 25% less than the cost of a conventional workover rig-enabled repair. Moreover, the Octopoda operation resulted in significantly lower carbon emissions than the conventional alternative.
Octopoda removed the need for a heavy workover rig to allow controlled circulation of annular fluids and the installation of a resin plug at the external casing shoe depth. This successfully sealed the annulus and enabled production to be resumed from the wellbore.
Octopoda is the only certified annular intervention system in the world that enables direct intervention of a live annulus without the expense of a heavy workover rig and with a reduced environmental footprint.
The system offers a safe and efficient method for removing shut-in casing pressure. It can be deployed to replace annulus fluid, to increase hydrostatic pressure, and solve casing shoe leakages by placing sealing material on the bottom of the annulus.
Utilizing a unique design, Octopoda is deployed on annulus inlets, removing workover rig requirements, offering an alternative that can be rapidly deployed across all types of installations, onshore and offshore, to maximize operational uptime while reducing overall HSE exposure.
Alistair Geddes, Expro's Chief Operating Officer, commented:
"Everyone at Expro is proud of this outstanding achievement and the team's extraordinary performance to reach new depths. Not only is it Expro's first venture into the Latin American market using the Octopoda system, but a world first.
"Octopoda is already proving itself as an innovative and cost-effective solution for solving well integrity issues across the industry. It enables our customers to prolong their well lifespan, making it economically viable to regain production from shut-in wells.
"Expro’s recent success with Octopoda shows the capabilities of this truly unique technology and our ability to optimize and expand the life of the growing number of aging wells around the world.
"Octopoda is the latest example of Expro’s commitment to investing in innovation, developing new technologies and working towards reducing our own and our clients’ carbon footprint."
