Rabat – On Thursday, Moroccan Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch met with national and international investors selected for the country’s green hydrogen initiative, in a ceremony held at Rabat.
The meeting was attended by Tariq Amzian Mefdal, CEO of the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), which is coordinating the implementation of these projects.
The investors had previously signed preliminary contracts to reserve land parcels for their projects after being selected by the government’s steering committee.
This step forms part of Morocco’s “Offre Maroc” in the green hydrogen sector, an initiative driven by the royal vision to position the country among leading nations in this emerging and strategic field.
In his opening remarks, Akhannouch commended the efforts of the investors and international pioneers contributing to the country’s green hydrogen ambitions. He emphasized the government’s commitment to the swift and effective implementation of Offre Maroc, which provides a comprehensive, incentive-based framework covering the entire green hydrogen value chain in Morocco.
The Prime Minister highlighted that Morocco’s focus on developing the green hydrogen sector under the leadership of the King represents a critical step toward achieving energy sovereignty. He pointed to the country’s rich and diverse natural resources, national expertise, and ability to build balanced, effective investment partnerships as key factors in driving success in this sector.
The selection of investors aims to support five major new projects in Morocco’s southern regions. The reservation of public land for these strategic projects is managed under a mechanism designed to ensure proper use and safeguard these resources.
In March 2025, Morocco unveiled a significant investment plan under the Offre Maroc initiative, committing over $35.15 billion (MAD319 billion) to develop green hydrogen projects across its southern provinces.
This strategy aims to position Morocco as a key player in the global green hydrogen market, focusing on producing ammonia, steel, and industrial fuel.
These initiatives will span regions such as Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra, Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, and Guelmim-Oued Noun, aiming to harness the country’s abundant renewable energy resources for green hydrogen production.
