« Since the signing of the EU-Green Partnership with Morocco, we have seen an increase in exchanges between our leaders, between the commissioners and Moroccan ministers. In the context of the energy transition and decarbonation of the economy, one of the pillars of this partnership is green hydrogen. Morocco has a great ambition to position itself as an actor or leader on this topic at the regional and even global scale.

There is a significant need to support the entire hydrogen sector upstream in terms of renewable energy production. Morocco is seen as having substantial potential, but the infrastructure needs to be in place. The aim is to support a mature technology that is currently not competitive, especially in terms of cost and scale. Encouraging all partners and offering assistance in addressing these challenges is a priority to reduce costs and enable significant scaling.
