Germany and Morocco have agreed to collaborate on a climate and energy alliance to bolster renewable energy and green hydrogen production in Morocco. Germany, looking to reduce greenhouse emissions in industrial sectors like steel and chemicals, aims to import a significant portion of its hydrogen demand due to limitations in wind and solar power production. The agreement was signed by Development Minister Svenja Schulze and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Berlin. The partnership focuses on supporting Morocco's energy transition and ensuring fair participation in future value chains. Germany has been supporting renewable energy projects in Morocco since 2012, including the funding of a solar thermal power plant in Ouarzazate. This plant is expected to produce hydrogen for green steel production, with plans for off-takers and production start in 2028 or 2029. The alliance also aims to explore transportation of green hydrogen and related products to Germany and Europe. The collaboration underscores the commitment to a sustainable green economy and fostering economic and political ties between the two nations.
