Green hydrogen: Morocco must turn its strategic lead into projects

Mapathé SOW20 October 20260114 views

Morocco has positioned itself among the first North African countries to structure a national green hydrogen strategy. Its solar and wind development, the “Morocco Offer” and the presence of consuming industries such as OCP Group underpin this ambition. But project announcements do not yet mean investments have been decided or exportable volumes will soon be available. Costs, water, infrastructure and offtake contracts remain decisive conditions.

Clean hydrogen: researchers call for targeting the most effective uses

Research published in Nature Climate Change urges governments to direct low-carbon hydrogen toward uses where it can cut emissions at lower cost. Comparing ten high-emitting sectors around 2035, researchers identify steelmaking, refining and ammonia production as priority applications. Conversely, hydrogen in road and rail vehicles appears less competitive than direct electrification under the assumptions studied.

Senegal wants to increase renewables’ share of its installed electricity capacity to 40% by 2030. Reiterated in Kolda on October 16 at a meeting devoted to the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), this ambition brings a practical question to the fore: how can a national target become reliable, accessible electricity that benefits the areas still least well served?
