TAQA Marruecos and Moeve, the new commercial name of Cepsa and both dominated under the sovereign control of Abu Dhabi, owner of Petrocan in the Canary ports, have signed a preliminary land reservation agreement in Dakhla, Western Sahara, with the Moroccan Government, as part of the country’s green hydrogen offer to develop a large-scale project for the production of green ammonia and industrial fuel. That hydrogen will enter the market by maritime means.
The project is being carried out through a consortium between TAQA Marruecos, an important operator in Morocco’s energy, water, and infrastructure sectors, and Moeve. Each member of the consortium will be responsible for its respective scope: TAQA Marruecos will supply the renewable energy components of the project, which will be developed at a site located in the Dakhla region, and Moeve will lead the production and marketing of e-fuels at the Jorf Lasfar port. In the future, output will be directed from Dakhla Atlantiue, the clone of Tangier a few kilometers from Las Palmas.
This project, selected by the steering committee of Morocco’s Green Hydrogen Offer, now enters a key phase with the launch of feasibility studies. Abdelmajid Iraqui Houssaini, CEO of TAQA Marruecos, stated in a press release that ‘this partnership will support green mobility by fostering the development of hydrogen-derived products essential for industry and transport.’
TAQA Marruecos was established in 1997 and manages 34% of Morocco’s electricity demand with 17% of the installed capacity. Through its strategic plan Positive Motion 2030, Moeve claims that it works ‘to transform mobility and energy to create a better world, ensuring current energy supply and focusing on sustainable energy solutions for the future.’
