Moroccan authorities have approved initial technical plans for two large-scale green hydrogen projects located in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra regions of Western Sahara. The approvals, granted on June 11th in Rabat, follow recent agreements securing land use rights for the projects with the Moroccan state. The projects, spearheaded by TAQA‑Moeve and ORNX, represent a significant step forward in Morocco’s ambitions to become a major exporter of green hydrogen. Details regarding the projects’ capacity and timelines were not immediately released. These developments underscore Morocco’s commitment to renewable energy and its strategic positioning in the emerging green hydrogen market. The approvals were overseen by dedicated monitoring committees established for each initiative. This marks early progress following the initial land reservation agreements.
