Structuring of a green ammoniac and green hydrogen production program in Morocco (GGGI Global Program on Green Hydrogen-KGNDF)

About this project

Since 2009, Morocco has made great advance in term of production and use of renewable energy. Today and to reinforce this vision, Morocco has launched a new challenge, to deploy green hydrogen applications to increase the penetration rate of renewable energy in the electricity grid and to exploit the potential of the green chemical industry with high added value having as a precursor the energy vector. Currently, most of the hydrogen (95%) is produced from fossil fuels through the chemical process of steam reforming of methane. However, Morocco aims to ensure a green, sustainable, large scale, competitively priced production of hydrogen with a reduced environmental impact. In this sense, other clean production methods are being considered such as low-temperature water electrolysis. This involves the dissociation of the water molecule using renewable electrical energy mainly solar or wind or both as it is the case for this project. Hydrogen produced in this way is called “Green”. This green hydrogen could be used in the power sector, transportation or to decarbonize the industry. Another approach allows the valorisation of Green Hydrogen into another primary molecule that are in high demand as raw materials in the industry. Examples include Ammonia, which is used in fertilizer industry, and Methanol which is widely used in the petrochemical industry. These raw materials, also green, could be stored and transported and then used in pioneer countries in the fight against climat…
