UK firm to build $2.4bn fertiliser plant in Egypt

2025/12/03 16:21

A UK company plans to invest nearly $2.4 billion in a fertiliser plant in Egypt that will use household waste as feedstock.

London-based Polar Hydro Company intends to set up the project in Egypt’s Giza free zone to meet domestic fertiliser needs and export the surplus to Europe.

The facility will process and safely recycle solid household waste to produce biofuel and fertilisers, Egypt’s cabinet said on its Facebook account on Tuesday.

Minister of industry and transport Kamel Al-Wazir disclosed the project during a meeting of industry officials, during which he said the plant would help safely dispose of piles of waste in the area and create jobs for Egyptians.

“The ministers instructed officials to provide all kinds of support and facilitate procedures for the company so it will embark on the project as soon as possible,” the ministry said in a statement.

Egypt, the third-largest Arab economy, is seeking industrial investment to boost exports and ease a painful trade deficit.

  • Egypt reveals incentives to attract global miners

The country targets a 20 percent annual increase in exports through 2030 and is prioritising five sectors: tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and information/communications technology.

The statement said ministry officials would soon meet Polar Hydro representatives to discuss the project.

The cabinet said another UK-based company — Blue Skies Global, a fresh fruit producer and exporter — plans to build refrigerated storage spanning 10,000 square metres. The facility will serve the company’s two factories in the 10th of Ramadan City and handle products designated for export.

Egypt’s food exports grew by 11 percent year on year in the first 11 months of 2025, exceeding $5.8 billion, it added.

Michigan progresses Bitcoin Reserve bill to invest 10% state funds in Bitcoin

The post Michigan progresses Bitcoin Reserve bill to invest 10% state funds in Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Michigan’s legislature is considering a bill to allow up to 10% of its public funds to be invested in Bitcoin. This move would make Michigan one of the most ambitious U.S. states regarding state-level Bitcoin adoption. Michigan advanced legislation today that would authorize the state to invest up to 10% of its public funds in Bitcoin, joining a growing wave of states exploring crypto asset reserves. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill represents one of the most ambitious state-level Bitcoin adoption proposals to date. Over 20 U.S. states introduced or considered similar Bitcoin reserve legislation in 2024 and early 2025, reflecting increased institutional interest as Bitcoin prices reached new highs. Michigan’s pension fund already maintains small Bitcoin exposure through exchange-traded funds. The proposal aligns with broader federal cryptocurrency policy shifts under the Trump administration, which has expressed support for a national Bitcoin reserve. Such federal backing has encouraged state-level initiatives as governments seek portfolio diversification beyond traditional assets. Bitcoin proponents argue that state reserves could provide hedge protection against inflation and currency devaluation, similar to how sovereign wealth funds like Norway’s oil fund diversified into alternative investments. Critics cite Bitcoin’s price volatility as a risk for public funds. The legislation still requires additional legislative approval before Michigan could begin Bitcoin purchases for its state treasury operations.
