A collaboration between TotalEnergies and Eren Group's joint venture TE H2, A.P. Møller Capital and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners' (CIP) have entered into an agreement with the Moroccan authorities to reserve a large area of land in southwestern Morocco. This is stated by CIP in a press release.
The area is to be reserved for the "Chebika" project, which is to consist of a total of one GW of land-based solar and wind energy. The solar cells and wind turbines will drive the production of green hydrogen through the electrolysis of desalinated seawater, which will be converted into 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year for the European market.
- I would like to thank the Moroccan authorities for awarding the 'Chbika' project and for the trust they have shown in our subsidiary TE H2 and our partners. This agreement is part of our strategy to develop production in countries with the most competitive renewable resources, such as Morocco. Thanks to its geographical proximity and the quality of its wind and solar resources, Morocco has all the prerequisites to become an important partner for Europe, says Patrick Pouyanné, chairman of the board and CEO of TotalEnergies.
In the collaboration, TE H2 and CIP will be responsible for the development of the production of renewable energy (solar, wind, green hydrogen and its derivatives), while A.P. Møller Capital must develop port and associated infrastructure.
- Morocco is at the forefront of the global energy transition and has all the necessary prerequisites to become an important partner for Europe and the world in achieving the net-zero goals. At Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, we are extremely proud to be part of this initiative with TE H2 and A.P. Møller Capital, says Philip Christiani, who is a partner at CIP.
