Introduction
2. Green Hydrogen Production in Morocco

● Electrolysis methods:
○ PEM: Emphasize its high efficiency, purity of hydrogen produced, and suitability for
intermittent renewable energy sources. Mention that it's currently the most favored
technology.
○ AEM: Briefly explain its advantages (potential for lower cost, use of less expensive
materials) and why it might be a promising future option.
○ SOE and Alkaline: Briefly acknowledge these methods and state why they are less suitable
for Morocco's context compared to PEM.
3. Site Selection and Implementation
● Proposed sites:
○ Present specific locations (using a map if possible) that have high potential for green
hydrogen production. Consider areas like:
■ The southern regions with strong solar resources (e.g., Ouarzazate)
■ Coastal areas with good wind resources (e.g., Tangier-Tetouan region)
○ Explain the criteria used for site selection:
■ Renewable energy potential: Use data to show the solar and wind resources at
each proposed site.
■ Water availability: Discuss desalination and distillation options for coastal sites.
Consider partnerships with existing desalination plants or propose new ones
powered by renewables.
● Obstacles and solutions:
○ Infrastructure: Address the need for upgrades to the electricity grid to handle the variable
output of renewable energy sources. Propose investment in new transmission lines and
smart grid technologies.
○ Costs: Acknowledge the high upfront investment required for green hydrogen projects.
Suggest strategies to attract international funding, public-private partnerships, and
government incentives.
○ Partners: Identify potential collaborators: international organizations (like the World Bank
or IRENA), private companies with expertise in hydrogen technology, and research
institutions.
4. Hydrogen Storage and Transportation
● Why storage is crucial: Explain that hydrogen is a low-density gas, so storage is essential to
balance supply and demand, especially when relying on intermittent renewable energy.
● Storage methods:
○ Supercritical storage: Highlight its advantages in terms of higher energy density and
efficiency. Discuss the potential for underground storage in geological formations in
Morocco.
○ Other methods: Briefly mention alternatives like compressed gas storage and liquid
hydrogen storage, explaining their limitations.
● Pipeline integration:
○ Propose a plan for a national hydrogen pipeline network to connect production sites,
storage facilities, and end-users.
○ Suggest partnerships with existing gas pipeline operators and international companies with
pipeline expertise.
○ Address safety regulations and standards for hydrogen pipelines.
5. Applications of Green Hydrogen
● Industry (Green Ammonia Production):
○ Explain the importance of ammonia as a fertilizer for Morocco's agricultural sector.
○ Highlight the environmental benefits of replacing traditional ammonia production (which
relies on fossil fuels) with green ammonia.
○ Present data on Morocco's current ammonia production and imports.
○ Propose pilot projects for green ammonia production, potentially partnering with fertilizer
manufacturers.
● Transportation:
○ Discuss the potential for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Morocco, particularly in heavy-duty
transport (trucks, buses).
○ Propose a phased approach to developing hydrogen refueling infrastructure, starting with
pilot projects in key logistics corriddrors and urban centers.
○ Mention potential partnerships with automakers and fuel companies.
6. Conclusion
● Key benefits: Summarize the economic, environmental, and social benefits of a green hydrogen
economy for Morocco (e.g., job creation, reduced carbon emissions, energy independence).
● Call to action: Encourage stakeholders to support the development of green hydrogen and
emphasize the importance of collaboration.
● Long-term vision: Reiterate the goals for 2030, 2040, and 2050, painting a picture of a sustainable
energy future for Morocco.
