The green hydrogen and ammonia project to be completed in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region will allow for the decarbonization of the Moroccan economy in key sectors such as mining and maritime transport.
The project also pushes towards the Moroccan industrial sector’s use of green energy, which results in the creation of thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities, which are stable jobs with a competitive advantage.
In addition to the local level, the project paves the way for Morocco to become a global leader in the ecosystem ofgreen hydrogenand provide Europe with clean energy supplies.
Project details
Total Irene has identified $10.69 billion in expenditures for the hydrogen production project andgreen ammonia In Morocco, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region.
The Moroccan-French project – extending over an area of 170,000 hectares – is a hybrid project that combines solar and wind energy with technologies that allow the production of 10 gigawatts.
The year 2025 will witness the active phase of the project, and it will enter production starting in 2027, according to what was reported by the electronic newspaper of the magazine. Construction Review Online About France’s Total Irene.
The French company, which is interested in developing and financing investments for the construction and operation of long-term renewable energy plants, completed the topographical studies of the project (the site and the environmental characteristics of the land and the region) as well as the initial design, as well as an analysis of the renewable resources at the site.
During the second phase of the project, Total Irene is working on completing the technical and economic studies of the plant, finalizing electrical infrastructure designs, and starting partnerships with suppliers and suppliers.
The hydrogen and green ammonia project in Morocco received the approval of the Unified Regional Investment Authority (a body responsible for adjudicating administrative decisions and licensing investment projects, and designing all regional investment centers in Morocco) in November last year.
The approval of the Unified Regional Investment Authority supports the continuation of the preparations for the hydrogen and ammonia production project in Morocco, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region (one of Morocco’s 12 regions).
Morocco and hydrogen
A report issued by the International Renewable Energy Agency “IRENA” – 3 days ago – had confirmed that Morocco, West, sunset It will play a major role in the global race for hydrogen, by entering the world of export, ranking fourth in the world.
The agency estimates that hydrogen will make up 12% of global energy use by 2050.
Morocco also signed an agreement with IRENA – mid-June last year – to enhance cooperation in the production and export of green hydrogen.
This came after Morocco prepared – in April last year – a road map for the country for the current decade from 2021 to 2030, which focuses mainly on hydrogen.
The focus on hydrogen comes within the framework of Morocco’s steps to supply the local market with the equivalent of 4 terawatt-hours, and export the equivalent of 10 terawatt-hours by 2030, which will enhance its position in the green hydrogen markets, according to the newspaper. Energy News Biz.
This is achieved through the expansion of new infrastructure investments for renewable projects, with a capacity of up to 6 gigawatts. According to the policy of the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Morocco has huge potentials in the hydrogen race, allowing it to capture 4% of the global demand for it.
Morocco aims for renewable energy to occupy a 52% share of total installed capacity by 2030, rising to 70% by 2040, and 80% by 2050.
