MENA Water and Wastewater 2023 helps you to make the most of the opportunities in the oil, gas, and petrochemicals sector in the Middle East and North Africa.

The region’s water sector is entering a major growth phase with projects split almost equally between water desalination and treatment plants at the pre-execution stage.

New projects are being launched following delays during the Covid-19 pandemic, and initiatives to meet net-zero targets, including decarbonising the water sector, particularly in the GCC states, are accelerating. The following 12 months will be a busy period for water developers investors and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors as they seize new opportunities. This is despite the volatility in raw materials prices and rising finance costs.

With water project agreements lasting between 20 and 30 years, water offtakers naturally want to obtain the best or optimal offers for each asset. On the other hand, the need to decarbonise and meet net-zero carbon emission targets while meeting increasing demand requires both offtakers and investors to accelerate decommissioning of thermal-powered desalination facilities and replace them with more energy-efficient reverse osmosis technology.

A growing number of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects are being connected to the grid, which will enable most state utility companies in the GCC to offer lower electricity rates, a key cost for seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) projects. The drive towards energy efficiency is also expected to further reduce overall water costs. These measures will not guarantee a return to declining levelised water costs over the short to medium term.

Future projects being developed with private sector participation lean towards facilities that integrate technologies and innovations that aim to reduce the water sector’s carbon footprint. These include building greenfield seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants and converting old thermal desalination plants into SWRO, as well as the deployment of digital twins and solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants to reduce the plant’s reliance on the electricity grid.

Innovation is seen as a key to lowering the sector’s carbon footprint while continuing to expand capacity in light of population and economic growth. The nascent, multibillion-dollar green hydrogen projects being planned or executed will also likely increase water demand.
