“In addition to our national action, through the control of our emissions, we will be able, thanks to our natural resources and our proximity to Europe, to be part of the solution on a global scale in the fight against climate change,” said Mr. Abdeljalil, who spoke by videoconference at a press conference, on the sidelines of the 2nd international dialogue on e-fuels, which is being held in Berlin.
“Morocco has been developing renewable wind and solar energy for a long time, and today it has very solid expertise in this field,” the government official observed, noting that Morocco is “always committed and ready to contribute to the fight against climate change.”
And to underline “the imperative of strengthening solidarity and multilateral cooperation to succeed in the energy transition in the transport sector across the world”.
In this regard, he stressed the need to take into account the specificities of developing countries, as their situation is different from that of advanced countries. “It would be unfortunate if advanced industrial countries were to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions, while developing countries were left behind. The world also needs the growth of these countries to be sustainable in order to achieve the goals needed to combat global warming,” he noted.
“I hope we can find financial solutions, because we need innovative and highly incentive-based financing if we want to combat global warming and continue to promote e-fuels,” the minister added.
The official also stressed the relevance of the German initiative to organize these international dialogue meetings on e-fuels at the political level, highlighting the importance of political support for the success of alternative fuel projects in particular and for the success of the energy transition of the transport sector in general.
In this context, Mr. Abdeljalil expressed Morocco’s willingness to host the third edition of this dialogue, in partnership with Germany.
The Kingdom was represented at the international e-fuels dialogue (June 4-5) by Mr. Tarik Talibi, Director General of Civil Aviation, under the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, and the Moroccan Embassy in Germany.
The second edition of this event, which saw the participation of many countries, aims to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the transport sector, particularly in civil aviation.
The Moroccan delegation also participated in the work of the fourth Berlin Aviation Summit, focusing on the future of aviation and its sustainability. This event, organized by the German Aerospace Industry Association and the German Space Center, aims to promote sustainable aviation at all levels.
The meeting was marked by the participation of senior officials and industry experts in discussions focused primarily on ways to develop “advanced, sustainable and affordable” air transport, while taking advantage of available technologies and the new generation of aircraft.
