Marrakech – Marrakech hosted the opening of the Fifth World Power-to-X Summit on October 1, bringing together 2,000 attendees from 40 countries and 125 speakers to address what organizers termed the global “hydrogen gap” between ambition and implementation. Morocco’s green hydrogen strategy took formal shape through the “Morocco Offer” circular issued by the head of government on March 11, 2024. He noted that while green hydrogen production leverages Morocco’s solar and wind resources, implementation costs remain high and technology continues maturing. Moufaddal pointed out that the preselection procedure under the Morocco Green Hydrogen Offer remains open to new investors. Since last year, commitments exceeding MAD 300 billion have been announced for six large-scale projects in green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green steel, each supported by land allocations up to 30,000 hectares.
