The steering committee meeting on “Morocco Offer” for green hydrogen, held Wednesday in Rabat and chaired by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, adopted a series of measures aimed at hoisting Morocco to the rank of countries with high potential in green hydrogen.
During the meeting, the committee noted the successful completion, within the set timeframe, of the preliminary phase of the “Chbika 1” project, in preparation for the launch of the next phase involving advanced studies for this project, which will be carried out by a consortium of investors including French and Danish companies, according to a press release from the Office of the Head of Government.
The committee also authorized the signing of preliminary land reservation contracts for five national and foreign investors, pre-selected at the steering committee meeting on March 6, 2025, for the implementation of six projects in line with “Morocco Offer” in the three Southern regions of Morocco, at a cost of MAD 319 billion ($31.2 billion).
On this occasion, Akhannouch commended the positive momentum behind the rigorous and serious implementation of “Morocco Offer” in the field of green hydrogen.
He emphasized that the investment momentum strengthens the partnership, confirms the trust of national and foreign operators in Morocco, and enshrines the North African country’s position as a regional and international energy hub in this promising strategic sector.
The Head of Government also emphasized the importance of integrated planning for electrical, port, and water desalination infrastructure, and of aligning the completion dates for these projects with the green hydrogen project agenda.
In this regard, he recalled that the selection of projects under “Morocco Offer” is based on a scientific and transparent approach, ensuring balanced partnerships, motivating investors and at the same time guaranteeing the proper use of public land.
The pre-selection process remains open to investors, with a view to leveraging the Kingdom’s leading position, its rich and diverse natural resources, its strategic geographical location, and its infrastructure that meets international standards, the press release concludes.
