Morocco becomes a natural partner to build strong friendship and cooperation ties with the European Union, EU ambassador to the Kingdom, Patricia Pilar Llombart Cussac, said here Tuesday.
“With its substantial energy resources, its proximity to Europe and its strong friendship and cooperation ties at all levels (…), Morocco becomes a natural partner to build such a relationship”, Cussac said at a plenary session under the theme “Green hydrogen and the path to COP28”, as part of the two-day World Power-to-X Summit.
“It is not by chance that Morocco was the first country with which the EU developed a green partnership”, the diplomat underlined, adding that this partnership has become the political framework for mutual cooperation on green issues.
In this respect, she noted that the EU and Morocco have increased contacts at all levels and together developed an ambitious action plan for this green partnership in the fields of energy transition, climate change adaptation, environmental protection and promotion of the green and blue economy.
Hydrogen can become a key element for decarbonizing energy systems and thus achieving climate ambitions, the diplomat pointed out.
Held under the theme “Unleashing green hydrogen and clean molecules for a carbon-free future,” the 3rd PTX holds particular significance amid a global energy crisis heightened by accelerating geopolitical tensions and reorganizations.
On a national level, it takes on a significant dimension thanks to the momentum spurred by the King, who has given His High Instructions to deploy an operational and incentivizing “Morocco Offer”. This ambitious initiative aims to position Morocco as a regional leader and African hub in the hydrogen field, drawing on its natural assets, national strategy and solid international partnerships.
