Germany and Morocco have entered into a strategic partnership to promote renewable energy and hydrogen production as part of efforts to combat climate change. The alliance, driven by Germany's goal to become climate-neutral by 2045, focuses on leveraging hydrogen as a vital energy source to decarbonize industries such as steel and chemicals that are challenging to electrify. Given Germany's limited space for extensive wind and solar power installations, up to 70% of its hydrogen needs will be imported. Development Minister Svenja Schulze emphasized Morocco's ideal conditions for green hydrogen production and stressed the importance of a fair and mutually beneficial collaboration. Morocco, in turn, recognized Germany's significant economic and political partnership. The cooperation aims to facilitate electricity trading between Morocco and the EU, involving the participation of German technology firms. Over the years, Germany has supported Morocco's renewable energy initiatives with substantial financial aid, including EUR1 billion in subsidized loans since 2012. Projects like the Ouarzazate solar plant, expected to produce 10,000 tons of hydrogen yearly by 2028 or 2029, have been key beneficiaries of this support. The alliance also plans to explore the transportation of hydrogen to Germany and other parts of Europe, paving the way for innovative solutions in the realm of sustainable energy.
