Morocco is looking to develop its hydrogen sector
Moroccan ammonia project receives construction loan
Pilot project will simulate different solar and wind load factors to evaluate green ammonia production efficiency
Investment firm Invest International has provided a loan to engineering firm Proton Ventures to support the construction of a 4 t/d green ammonia plant in Jorf Lasfar, Morocco. The pilot project will be equipped with both a polymer electrolyte membrane and alkaline electrolyser with a capacity of 2MW each and will start operation in early 2024. It will also be equipped with an “emulator” that can simulate different electrical load profiles, in particular a mix of solar and wind power. The plant will use the Haber-Bosch process to convert hydrogen and nitrogen to ammonia. “As Europe would in the future need to bring energy from overseas, Morocco is a great place for large-scale hydrogen produ
