  • Participants, including Master's students and young researchers, engage in a Summer School offering comprehensive knowledge and practical workshops led by national and international experts.
  • A hackathon at the camp challenges participants to propose innovative solutions for the Moroccan market, with the top teams receiving mentoring to develop prototypes, aiming to accelerate the country's green hydrogen initiatives.
  • Key figures like Frank Wouters and Jean Christophe Filori express optimism about Morocco's potential in green hydrogen, emphasizing its skilled workforce, abundant natural resources, and the positive impact on decarbonizing the energy sector and fostering economic growth.
The inaugural edition of the «Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp» commenced in Benguerir at the Green Energy Park, aiming to advance the development of green hydrogen in the country. Organized by IRESEN, GIZ in Morocco, and the MED-GEM network funded by the EU, the week-long event targets Master's students, PhD candidates, and young researchers. The program includes a 'Summer School', offering participants extensive insights into green hydrogen through lectures, workshops, and practical demonstrations conducted by national and international experts. A significant aspect of the camp is the hackathon scheduled for July 6, where participants will apply their acquired knowledge to propose innovative solutions tailored for the Moroccan market. The top three teams will receive guidance over the summer to refine their prototypes, culminating in a presentation at an event in October. Frank Wouters, Director of the MED-GEM Network, lauded Morocco's prospects in green hydrogen, citing the nation's capability to produce cost-effective green electricity and hydrogen due to its abundant resources and skilled workforce. Jean Christophe Filori from the EU Delegation echoed this sentiment, highlighting the vital role of green hydrogen in decarbonizing the energy ecosystem. He emphasized the technology's potential to boost economic growth and enhance Europe's relations with Mediterranean countries like Morocco. The event signifies a significant step towards harnessing green hydrogen in Morocco and fostering collaboration for a sustainable energy future.
