Thanks to the enlightened vision of His Majesty the King, may God assist Him, Morocco is playing an important part in the global energy transition and increasing its position as an energy hub. With its significant solar and wind energy potential, the Kingdom is one of the countries with the largest potential for green hydrogen generation, capable of meeting more than 4% of global demand by 2030. This is a significant potential for the Kingdom, which sees it as a way to decarbonize its economy, generate wealth, and create jobs.
