Empowering Clean Hydrogen Transformation in Morocco and Africa
“The First CBC #TogetherWeAreStronger Consortium & Ecosystem venture in Morocco, with its Clean Hydrogen Epicentre, Go For Hydrogen Africa (GFHA), marks a pivotal moment for the clean hydrogen transformation in Morocco and across the African continent. We anticipate that Morocco alone will require 50 GW of electrolyser capacity to meet the country's clean hydrogen ambitions, with Africa requiring over 100 GW.
Morocco has a tremendous opportunity to become “the Continental Hub of Clean Hydrogen,” not only for production and export but also as a manufacturing center for clean hydrogen equipment, including electrolysers, refueling stations, and other renewable energy technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage systems. This can position Morocco as one of the leaders in the global clean and renewable hydrogen economy.
Clean hydrogen has the potential to drive economic development and bring prosperity to Morocco and the entire African continent, and we are here to help empower this transformation. #TogetherWeAreStronger!
