MSA Contributes to a National Research Achievement Supporting Egypt’s Path Toward Zero Emissions
The Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute (EPRI), in collaboration with October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA), organized a workshop to present the outcomes of the research project funded by the Science, Technology & Innovation Funding Authority (STDF) titled:
“Production of Sustainable Clean Fuel and the Design and Implementation of an Exhaust Gas Tracking and Analysis Device to Achieve the Climate Race Toward Zero Emissions” (STDF46888).
The workshop was led by Prof. Dr. Nour Shafik El Gendy – Head of the Innovation and Technology Support Office (ITSO), Member of the Scientific Excellence Center for Projects and Entrepreneurship, Member of the Technology Transfer and Commercialization Office (TICO) at October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA), Professor of Environmental Sciences at EPRI, and Principal Investigator of the project; and attended by Prof. Dr. Tarek Shazly, Acting Director of the Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute.
Held under the theme “Think Environmentally… Act Environmentally”, the event brought together distinguished scientists, researchers, industry representatives, and environmental specialists, supporting the implementation of Egypt’s National Climate Change Strategy 2050 and the national transition toward a green economy.
✅ The MSA University research team presented several applied scientific outputs, including:
- Developing an integrated system for producing biofuel from agricultural waste with low carbon, water, and energy footprints.
- Synthesizing green nanocatalysts to enhance desulfurization processes and produce sustainable clean fuel using CO₂.
- Designing and manufacturing an advanced national device for measuring and analyzing exhaust gases using high-precision sensing technologies.
- Evaluating diesel engine performance using the newly produced clean fuels.
- Conducting economic and environmental assessments to ensure industrial feasibility and long-term sustainability.
At the conclusion of the workshop, Prof. Dr. Tarek Shazly honored the research team members in recognition of their distinguished scientific contributions.
MSA reaffirms its commitment to supporting applied scientific research that advances Egypt’s Vision 2030 and drives innovation toward a more sustainable future.
