The Moroccan government revealed on Monday its plan to allocate vast stretches of public land totaling approximately one million hectares for green hydrogen projects. It emphasized that in the initial phase, 300,000 hectares will be set aside specifically for investors. . A statement from the Prime Minister's Office underscored that this initiative will position Morocco as a significant player in global energy transition efforts and will influence the resulting energy dynamics. It outlined that Morocco's proposal encompasses a range of projects, starting from harnessing electricity through renewable sources and electrolysis, and extending to the conversion of green hydrogen into various products like ammonia, methanol, and synthetic fuels.
Towards the end of January, the National Electricity and Water Office in Morocco entered into an agreement with renewable energy firms Nareva and GE Vernova to conduct a feasibility study. The study aims to assess the possibility of replacing conventional fuels with green hydrogen to power a 99-megawatt station in Laayoune. In a joint statement, the office and the two companies affirmed that GE Vernova will facilitate the operation of the Laayoune power plant entirely with green hydrogen produced at Nareva's wind farm, thereby supporting Morocco's goal to increase its renewable energy share from the current 40% to 52% by 2030.
