On April 12 local time, China Energy Engineering Group International Construction Corporation signed a memorandum of cooperation on a green hydrogen project in the southern region of Morocco with Saudi Arjan Brothers Company and Moroccan company Gaia Energy. This is another significant achievement by China Energy Engineering Group in leveraging its integrated advantages across the entire industry chain to strengthen cooperation in global third-party markets, and in developing new energy as well as \"new energy+\" projects overseas; it represents a new breakthrough in the North-West African regional market, following the signing of a memorandum on joint development of green hydrogen projects in Egypt. The project is located in the coastal area of the Southern Region of Morocco, with convenient port and transportation facilities. The main components of the project include the construction of a production facility capable of producing 1.4 million tons of green ammonia per year (equivalent to about 320,000 tons of green hydrogen), as well as the development of 2 GW of photovoltaic power generation capacity and 4 GW of wind power generation capacity, along with subsequent operation and maintenance activities. Once completed, this green hydrogen project will supply stable clean energy to the southern region of Morocco and Europe on an annual basis, reducing electricity costs and contributing to the global advancement of green and low-carbon energy systems. Morocco is a key overseas market for China Energy Engineering Group, boasting excellent conditions for the development of renewable energy and huge market potential. In recent years, Morocco has **continued to increase its efforts in the development of new energy sources, seawater desalination, and hydrogen energy. It has formulated plans for the development of renewable energy, aiming to achieve 52% of its electricity generation from renewable sources by 2030. Additionally, it has established strategies for the development of seawater desalination and hydrogen energy in order to accelerate the transformation of Morocco’s energy structure.
