Morocco is betting big on green hydrogen, and Chinese firms are at the heart of this $32.7 billion mega-project! Two Chinese companies, UEG and China Three Gorges, will join global partners to produce ammonia and fuels in Morocco's sun-soaked southern regions. The move turbocharges the country’s ambition to lead the green energy race.
The projects, part of Morocco’s "Green Energy Offer," span 30,000 hectares each and aim to slash emissions in steel and fuel production. Think of it as Morocco’s Avengers-style squad rallying to save the planet—but instead of capes, they’ve got solar panels and wind turbines.
This isn’t the first eco-collab between the two nations. Earlier this year, they launched a green energy lab, and a Chinese firm announced plans to build Africa’s first EV battery mega-factory in Morocco. Talk about a power duo!
Experts say Morocco’s strategic location makes it the perfect bridge for Chinese tech to reach both Europe and Africa. And with the Belt and Road Initiative in the mix, it’s a win-win for sustainable growth. Stay tuned—this green wave is just getting started!
