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.

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.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
