H2 Global Energy makes progress in preliminary studies for its ambitious project in Morocco

Earlier this week, H2 Global Energy announced the completion of preliminary studies for the development of a green hydrogen and ammonia plant in southern Morocco. With an annual production capacity of one million tonnes of green ammonia, the project aims to position the Kingdom as one of the global leaders in green energy. 

A company delegation recently held a series of constructive meetings with various government institutions in Rabat, according to Le Matin. The meetings focused on the regulatory framework, investment opportunities and key collaborations to ensure the success of the project. In addition, the Moroccan authorities' firm commitment to renewable energy and their strategy to position the Kingdom as a regional centre for green hydrogen production were highlighted.  

In the words of the company's commercial director, Waleed Al Hallaj, this project is of significant importance for Morocco, emphasising that the creation of this green hydrogen and ammonia plant ‘represents a significant step forward in fulfilling the Kingdom's ambitions in the field of energy’. ‘This infrastructure will not only contribute to the country's sustainable development goals, but will also generate employment and boost economic growth,’ said Al Hallaj. ‘We are very excited about the potential of this project to support Morocco's energy transition and consolidate its position on the global energy scene,’ he added.

The future plant will harness Morocco's solar and wind potential to produce green hydrogen, which will then be converted into green ammonia. This sustainable solution will play a key role in various sectors, such as agriculture, transport and energy storage, thus contributing to the global decarbonisation dynamic.

Furthermore, H2 Global Energy reaffirms its commitment to promoting innovative and sustainable energy projects, in close collaboration with local and international partners. The completion of the preliminary studies marks a crucial step towards the realisation of this green ammonia plant, while the next stages will focus on securing financing for the project and completing the necessary engineering.  

Green hydrogen is gaining increasing relevance in Morocco, a country that has emerged as a leader in the transition towards renewable energy in Africa. The key to its potential lies in its enormous capacity to generate renewable energy from clean sources, such as the sun and wind, which are abundant throughout the territory. 

Furthermore, thanks to its geographical location, the Kingdom has close access to European markets, which are very interested in importing green hydrogen as part of their strategy to reduce emissions and diversify their energy sources. This opens up a great economic opportunity for the North African country, which could export green hydrogen or green ammonia to Europe.
