Morocco has approved $32.5 billion in green hydrogen projects as part of its strategy to cut industrial emissions and position itself as a key supplier for the European Union’s clean energy transition. The initiative, involving major global energy players such as Ortus, Acciona, Acwa Power, and Taqa, aims to drive the production of green ammonia, steel, and fuel while significantly boosting Morocco’s renewable energy capacity. 

The projects align with Morocco’s ambition to supply 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen to the EU by 2030, reinforcing the European Green Deal’s decarbonization goals. To support this large-scale development, the Moroccan government is allocating up to 30,000 hectares of land per project once preliminary agreements are signed. This follows Morocco’s earlier efforts in 2023 when it set aside 300,000 hectares for hydrogen projects and signed agreements with companies like TotalEnergies and Engie. 

Currently, renewables account for 45% of Morocco’s energy mix, with plans to increase this to 52% by 2030. By leveraging its abundant solar and wind resources, Morocco aims to position itself as a leader in the green hydrogen economy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels while driving industrial decarbonization. The green hydrogen produced will be used in energy-intensive industries, helping major sectors transition to cleaner alternatives. 

The initiative also strengthens Morocco’s economic ties with European markets by supporting the EU’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. The European Green Deal requires substantial volumes of clean hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in sectors such as steel, chemicals, and heavy transport. Morocco’s strategic location and renewable energy potential make it an ideal partner for European hydrogen imports. 

Beyond environmental benefits, the projects are expected to drive economic growth, create jobs, and attract further investment into Morocco’s green energy sector. By integrating green hydrogen into its long-term energy strategy, Morocco is making a significant move toward ESG leadership, ensuring sustainable industrial development and a competitive edge in the global clean energy market.
