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.
