- Literature review
Egypt's 2030 vision focuses on sustainable development with a strong emphasis
on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction in newly constructed cities and
high-rise buildings, and efforts are being made at all levels to achieve the
vision's objectives. This is accomplished. utilising a variety of methods and
models aimed at assisting in the reduction of carbon emissions, In Egypt,
however, no clear one has been introduced for mixed-use structures. A
substantial gap in high-rise building carbon emissions was discovered as a result
of this research. Egypt's emissions are being assessed. This was a major
motivator for me to do this work in the first place. Create a computational
model that can be used to this situation, The Egypt Sustainable Development
Strategy was launched in 2015. It aims to improve the efficiency of the country's
energy sector, reduce waste production, and minimize greenhouse gas
emissions. Sustainability can also be a key component of a policy that aims to
improve the living conditions of the people living in it. This can be done through
a green building grading scheme.
The increase in the share of each individual of his consumption in Egypt of
materials that produce gases harmful to the environment, in addition to that,
and also the rise in greenhouse gases GHG causes the formation of the black
cloud the world bank declared Egypt’s Carbon Dioxide (CO2 )emissions went up
to 2.5 metric tons/capita in 2016 as of 0.5 metric tons/capita in the 1960s
(World bank 2016). In addition that, Egypt’s emission of CO2 rose as of 225
million (MTCO2 e), Egypt emitted 288 million metric tons (MtCO2e) in 2012,
with the energy sector contributing 74 percent of overall greenhouse gas
emissions. Egypt’s emissions grew 133 percent from 1990 - 2012. From 1990 -
2012 Egypt’s gross domestic product increased at a faster rate than greenhouse
gas emissions, which suggests that carbon intensity of the economy had
decreased over the same time period.
Egypt has not submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution and
has not expressed national greenhouse gas mitigation targets. However, Egypt’s
long-term development goals promote renewable energy resources and energy
efficiency which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable
development. For example, the 2008 National Renewable Energy Strategy
establishes a target of generating 20 percent of electricity from renewable
sources by 2020. a standard metric to calculate total emissions of CO2 in 2005 to
275 MTCO2 e in 2010 and are projected to go above 550 MTCO2 e by 2030
The five key emissions-driving areas are energy production, cement
manufacturing, buildings, motor vehicles, and agriculture, with the first two
driving 75 percent (US EIA, 2018) Most energy-intensive industries are carbon
dioxide (CO2) emitters. It is important to test for spatial dependence when
estimating emissions, as CO2 emissions show significant regional differences.
determinants include road network density and investment in property, plant
and equipment. , Structure of economic activity, proportion of women, and
different education levels in each inhabitants of the region. The inclusion of
spatial dimension and the use of female and educational levels as determinants
contributes to Egypt's research on CO2 emissions. Estimates show that the
prefecture's CO2 emissions are spatially random rather than spatially
dependent. Study therefore uses the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM)
dynamic plate model. Delays in CO2 emissions per capita, net capital
investment, the proportion of illiterate people in the working-age population,
and the proportion of services in economic activity are large, with having a
positive effect (increased emissions). The proportion of females in the working-
age population and the proportion of agriculture in economic activity are
important and negatively.
Carbon emissions in Middle East
Egypt's National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) or Carbon, The emission profile is
similar to his profile neighbor. Estimated total emissions are about 318.2 million
tons of CO2e (carbon equivalent) In 2010, Egypt was one of the countries with
the highest total emissions. However, Egypt's per capita emissions are the
population of over 85 million is small more than half of the regional average.
Qatar is at the top of the list World's highest per capita carbon emitter Kuwait,
United Arab Emirates, Bahrain are third, 4 and 5; Saudi Arabia is ranked 14th on
the same list. Egypt ranks 124th about 2.8 tones per person. That. Still, Egypt's
emissions forecasts are increasing grow faster than population growth: thereby
Total emissions in Egypt in 2030 Egypt's share of world emissions doubles and
increases 50%.
