Aquaculture in Egypt is crucial for food security and income generation, but the sector faces significant challenges such as limited resources and adverse climate changes. On the other hand, a growing market demand due to population increase adds pressure on the industry. The use of renewable energy in the aquaculture value chain is an innovative approach to overcoming these challenges and increasing yield in a sustainable manner. The Center of Renewable Energy in Aquaculture project is a groundbreaking collaborative initiative funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Cairo and implemented by WorldFish. It aims to enhance aquaculture practices in Egypt and broader Africa by harnessing cutting-edge renewable energy technologies to support economic growth, address protein needs, and enhance environmental sustainability and climate resilience within the aquaculture value chain. The CeREA project represents a significant step toward a more sustainable and resilient aquaculture sector in Egypt and Africa. It is expected to unlock the full potential of aquaculture to contribute to economic development, food security, and environmental sustainability.
