On Tuesday, during the fourth edition of the “World Power-To-X Summit” in Marrakech, four major agreements were signed aimed at boosting green hydrogen initiatives in Morocco.
These agreements aim to strengthen collaboration between public and private sectors, both domestically and internationally, to fast-track the development of integrated green hydrogen projects in the country. The deals also focus on advancing innovative solutions for the production, transportation, and storage of clean energy, while enhancing the industrial and technological capacity required for global competitiveness.
The first agreement was forged between the Moroccan Institute for Research in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN) and Spain’s Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI), a public business entity that supports technological innovation. This partnership will promote joint projects between Moroccan and Spanish entities in the field of green technologies.
The second memorandum of understanding (MoU) between IRESEN and Cluster Tweed, focuses on innovation in energy storage and green hydrogen production, targeting the industrial sector in Morocco.
The third agreement, involving IRESEN and Mohring Energie Maroc, emphasizes technical cooperation, technology demonstrations, and research and development (R&D) in green energy.
The final deal brings together Cluster Green H2, Fidaroc Grant Thornton, and UGGC Africa Lawfirm, with the goal of establishing a multidisciplinary platform of expertise for Morocco’s green hydrogen ecosystem.
Held under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI, the World Power-To-X Summit (October 8-9), is co-organized by IRESEN, Cluster Green H2, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), and the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), under the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development. The summit aims to position green hydrogen as a key driver for the energy transition, both in Morocco and globally.
Building on the success of previous editions, this year’s summit has even grander ambitions, attracting over 1,000 participants and 170 international speakers from 35 countries.
