Chinese provides USD 750,000 for the establishment of the China-Egypt Renewable Energy National Joint Laboratory

On March 27, 2016, the “China-Egypt Renewable Energy National Joint Laboratory” jointly established by the 48th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CLP 48) and the Egyptian Academy of Science and Technology was unveiled in Egypt. In December 2014, during Egyptian President Sisi's visit to China, the Chinese Ministry of technology and the Egyptian Ministry of Scientific Research jointly signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Joint Construction of China-Egypt Renewable Energy Joint Laboratory", which clearly stated that the two sides will Start the construction of the National Joint Laboratory for Renewable Energy. The lab is led by CLP 48, and Tianjin University and China Guodian Corporation jointly participate in the implementation; the Egyptian side of the joint laboratory is the Egyptian Institute of Scientific Research and Technology. The Chinese and Egyptian governments each funded the establishment of the laboratory. The joint laboratory will rely on the technology of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment of CLP 48, focusing on breakthroughs in high-efficiency and low-cost cell/module preparation automation technology, large-scale photovoltaic power station efficiency optimization and grid-connected technology, building a solar photovoltaic engineering system for Egypt, and fostering renewable energy. Scientific research and technical personnel in the energy field, alleviating the problem of energy shortage.
