Land Allocation & Strategic Goals

Each project will be allocated up to 30,000 hectares upon signing preliminary agreements. The initiative aligns with Morocco’s goal of supplying 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen to the EU by 2030, supporting the European Green Deal.

“Morocco’s investment in green hydrogen will help meet domestic energy goals and boost exports to Europe,” the prime minister’s office stated.

A Step Toward Energy Leadership

Morocco has been ramping up its renewable energy strategy, previously allocating 300,000 hectares for hydrogen projects in 2023. The country has already attracted major investors like TotalEnergies, Engie, and OCP to advance its green ammonia production.
