World Power-to-X Summit in Marrakech: Signature of four conventions in the field of green hydrogen

by times news cr

These conventions ‌aim to strengthen cooperation between public and private‍ actors,⁢ both at the ⁣national ⁣and international level, in order to accelerate‌ the development of integrated projects in ‌the green hydrogen⁤ sector⁢ in ⁤Morocco.

They also concern the implementation of ⁣innovative solutions for the production, transport and storage of this​ clean energy, as well as the strengthening of the industrial and technological capacities necessary‍ for its competitiveness.

This agreement aims to promote and ‍support the development⁢ of joint technological cooperation projects between Spanish and Moroccan entities in the field of green technologies.

The‍ second memorandum of understanding (MoU), signed between IRESEN and the Tweed Cluster, concerns innovation in‌ energy storage and the⁤ production of green hydrogen for Moroccan ⁢industry.

the ⁢last agreement, signed between the Green H2 Cluster, Fidaroc Grant Thornton and UGGC Africa Lawfirm, ​aims to ⁢create ‌a multidisciplinary ‌expertise platform ‍for the green hydrogen ecosystem⁤ in ⁤the ⁣Kingdom.

Placed⁤ under ‌the High Patronage of HM⁢ King​ Mohammed VI, the⁣ World Power-To-X Summit (October 8-9), co-organized by IRESEN,​ the Green H2 Cluster,​ the Mohammed VI⁤ Polytechnic University (UM6P) and The Moroccan Sustainable Energy​ Agency (MASEN), under ⁤the aegis of the ​Ministry of⁤ Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, aims to promote ⁢green hydrogen as a key lever for the ‌energy transition in Morocco and the international.

Building on ​the success of previous editions, this⁤ year’s event presents ⁣itself with even higher ambitions, bringing together more than 1,000 participants‌ and 170 internationally​ renowned speakers from 35​ countries.

What are‌ the key benefits of green ​hydrogen ‌in ⁣addressing climate change?

Time.news ⁣Interview: Exploring the Future⁤ of Green Hydrogen Cooperation

Editor (Emma Johnson): Welcome to​ Time.news, where we delve into the most pressing issues of our time. Today, we’re joined by Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a leading expert in sustainable ‍energy and green hydrogen technology. Dr. Mitchell, thank you for being here with us.

Dr. Sarah Mitchell: Thank you, ⁣Emma. It’s a pleasure ‌to​ be here ⁢and discuss such‍ an ⁤important topic.

Emma: Let’s jump right in. Recently, there have ⁢been several conventions focused on strengthening cooperation between public‍ and ⁤private‌ sectors for green hydrogen development. Could⁢ you explain why this cooperation is so‍ crucial?

Dr. Mitchell: Absolutely.⁣ The development ⁢of green hydrogen technology requires significant investment and ⁣innovation.⁤ By fostering collaboration between‌ public entities—like governments—and private companies, we can combine resources, share knowledge, and push forward integrated projects ‍more effectively. These partnerships can accelerate ⁢the deployment of ‌green ⁤hydrogen solutions, addressing‍ climate change and energy security more rapidly.

Emma: That makes ‌sense! And⁢ speaking of energy security, how does green hydrogen ‍fit into the broader energy landscape?

Dr. Mitchell: Green hydrogen is ​pivotal. It acts as a versatile energy carrier that can be stored and transported, making it an excellent complement to ‌intermittent renewable ‍sources like wind and solar. By‌ integrating green hydrogen ⁢into our energy systems, we can reduce dependency on fossil fuels while also enhancing resilience ‌against energy supply disruptions.

Emma: Interesting! Could you provide some examples ​of integrated ‌projects that are being developed as a result ⁣of these conventions?

Dr. Mitchell: Sure! ⁣One example ⁤is ‍the large-scale hydrogen production ⁤facilities ⁢being ⁣planned in Europe. These projects often involve partnerships between energy companies and government ⁤agencies ‌to produce hydrogen⁢ using renewable energy sources. Additionally,‌ there are initiatives‍ aimed ‌at ‌developing hydrogen refueling stations for transportation, supported by ‍both‌ public ​policy and private investment.

Emma: ​It⁤ seems⁢ like‍ an exciting time for ⁤green hydrogen initiatives. However, what challenges do you foresee⁤ in achieving successful cooperation between these sectors?

Dr. Mitchell: One of the main⁤ challenges ⁢is aligning the interests of public and private entities.⁣ Governments may prioritize social and environmental goals, while​ companies often focus ⁣on profitability. Bridging that gap requires clear communication, shared visions, and sometimes regulatory frameworks that incentivize collaboration. There is also the need for⁣ significant infrastructure investment, which ⁤can be daunting.

Emma: That’s ​a good ‌point. Given these challenges, what role do ‌you think international⁢ cooperation plays in advancing green ​hydrogen⁣ initiatives?

Dr. Mitchell: International cooperation ⁢is essential, ​especially for a global issue like climate change. Countries can learn from each ⁢other’s successes​ and failures, while also‍ sharing​ technology and‍ research. Moreover, international agreements can help standardize regulations and facilitate cross-border hydrogen trade networks.​ This could ultimately lead to⁢ a more efficient global market for green hydrogen.

Emma: So, looking ‍ahead, what do you hope to see‍ from the upcoming⁢ conventions ‌and initiatives centered around green hydrogen?

Dr. Mitchell: I hope to see concrete commitments to​ long-term ⁤investments and⁢ a ​clear roadmap ⁣for action from both public and private sectors.⁢ It would be encouraging to witness tangible progress​ in developing ‌hydrogen infrastructure and supply chains, as ⁣well as increased‍ public awareness of ​the​ benefits‌ of green hydrogen. The⁤ next few years will be crucial ⁢in determining⁣ the trajectory ⁢of our ‌energy ‍future.

Emma: Thank you, Dr. ‍Mitchell, ⁤for your ⁣insights and expertise on this​ vital subject. ⁢As we⁣ continue to face environmental challenges, the ​push for‌ green hydrogen offers a glimpse of hope.

Dr. Mitchell: Thank you‌ for ⁣having ⁤me, ​Emma. Let’s⁢ keep the dialog going as we move toward⁣ a sustainable‌ future!

Emma: Absolutely. And for our ‍viewers, stay ‍tuned for ⁣more discussions on green energy and⁣ technology here at Time.news.
