據能源世界網9月28日開羅報道，埃及石油和礦產資源部部長Tarek El Molla宣布，埃及計劃于2023年實現石油產品的自給自足。

埃及石油部援引El Molla周日在埃及大開羅莫斯托羅德地區（Mostorod）埃及煉油廠項目的開幕式上表示，埃及正在努力實現到2023年汽油和柴油完全自給自足的目標。這項工作從2016年就開始了，當時的年進口量達到1000萬噸，耗資45億美元。

據El Molla稱，2020年期間的進口量將為350萬噸，費用為15億美元。

這位部長指出，有許多因素有助于逐步實現石油產品的自給自足，比如運營新的煉油廠，提高現有設施的效率，合理化消費，擴大國家將汽車改裝成天然氣的項目，以及改善交通網絡。

Egypt aims to become self-sufficient in petroleum products within three years, says Minister

Egypt plans to reach self-sufficiency in petroleum products in 2023, the country's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla has announced.

"Work is being done to reach the goal of achieving full self-sufficiency in Egypt of gasoline and diesel by 2023. The work has been underway since 2016, when the volume of imports reached about 10 million tonnes annually at a cost of $4.5 billion," El Molla said at the Sunday opening ceremony of the Egyptian Refinery Project in the Mostorod area in Greater Cairo, as quoted by the petroleum ministry.

According to El Molla, import rates during 2020 were at 3.5 million tonnes per year, at a cost of $1.5 billion.

The Minister pointed out that there are many factors contributing to gradually achieving self-sufficiency in petroleum products, such as operating new refineries and raising the efficiency of current facilities, rationalising consumption, expanding the national project to convert cars to work on natural gas, and improving the transport network.
