The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) has received almost 40 applications for projects in various regions of the Kingdom, six months after the publication of the Head of Government’s circular on implementing the “Morocco Offer” for developing the green hydrogen sector.
According to a press release from the Head of Government’s office, the pilot committee in charge of the “Morocco Offer” for green hydrogen, which convened on August 29 and was presided over by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, examined the methodology to be adopted for evaluating and selecting projects through a rigorous definition of criteria.
The press release stated that these project applications reflect the keen interest and effective interaction of national investors and major international operators in the energy sector in the “Morocco Offer,” which is considered competitive, integrated, transparent, and practical.
“This interest expressed by investors concerns different regions of the Kingdom, from the north of Morocco to its southern provinces”, the same source added.
Within this framework, the State had undertaken, in line with the High Royal Directives, to define a significant public land base of some 1 million hectares to encourage and support project developers and promote this promising sector while ensuring, within a contractual framework, that this public land base is preserved and put to good use.
“In line with the High Royal Directives, the committee examined the progress made in implementing the various projects relating to the operationalisation of Morocco‘s Offer for Green Hydrogen”, the press release continued.
Also, this meeting was held to apply the High Directives of HM King Mohammed VI, “calling for the rapid and qualitative implementation of this offer, to leverage our country’s significant potential in this area and to meet the expectations of leading global investors in this promising field.”
