RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The World Power-to-X Summit 2024 has officially opened in Marrakech, bringing together key policy makers, world-renowned experts and key opinion leaders in the green hydrogen sector. The event is co-organised by the Solar Energy and New Energy Research Institute (IRESEN), in collaboration with the Green H2 Cluster, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and the Moroccan Energy Agency sustainable (MASEN).
In her opening speech, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development Leila Benali highlighted Morocco’s commitment to the development of green hydrogen as a key lever for the country’s low-carbon strategy and energy transition efforts.
She spoke about the recently published “Offre Maroc”, which provides visibility and an incentive framework for national and international investors to develop integrated green hydrogen projects in the country. “The development of green hydrogen as a decarbonization vector is fully in line with Morocco’s commitment to international climate efforts, but also with the continuity of efforts already underway for over a decade to achieve an energy transition,” the minister stated.
Benali encouraged the participants to seize the opportunities presented to collaborate on solutions that will accelerate progress towards a sustainable future powered by clean energy.
The two-day summit features a diverse programme of interactive activities, including side events, masterclasses, sector meetings and business-to-government (BtoG) and business-to-business (BtoB) meetings.
Panels and workshops led by renowned experts will offer in-depth analysis and valuable perspectives on strategic issues such as Power-to-X technologies, the integration of hydrogen into the energy mix and financing opportunities for large-scale international projects.
With a strong focus on research and close collaborations with the industrial sector, UM6P affirms its commitment to train a new generation of talent to shape the future of the African continent. The objective of the World Power-to-X Summit 2024 is to strengthen Morocco’s position as a global hub for green hydrogen, while creating strong synergies between industry players nationally and internationally.
