Morocco
…share in total final consumption (TFC) decreased considerably over the past decade, given the expanding energy demand. Morocco has only renewable energy targets for electricity. With a view to meet SDG 7, which seeks a substantial increase in the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix (measured in TFC) by 2030, the government is encouraged to set targets for the use of modern renewables in residential and transport. This will strongly promote the reduction of fossil fuel use across the economy. As Morocco continues to rely on coal, oil, and gas imports for most of its energy needs…

Wired for water: How electrification is transforming desalination
…today equals the country’s total population in the early 2000s.The Middle East and North Africa, home to 490 million people in 2024, faces extreme water stress. Around 75% of the population lived in water-stressed areas in 2000, and despite slightly faster population growth in relatively less stressed zones – such as northern Morocco, northeast Algeria and the Tigris valley – more than 70% remain exposed to high or extreme stress today. Countries have several levers to address water stress: improving agricultural efficiency, expanding water reuse and rainwater harvesting, and modernising infrastructure to reduce losses and expand storage and transport…

Unlocking Ukraine’s Hydrogen Opportunity: A Roadmap The hydrogen opportunity
…potential is in regions that are occupied or heavily mine-contaminated. The realisable economic potential is much lower, especially considering the current high cost of capital. Ukraine has a larger renewable resource capacity than Germany (a potential importer of hydrogen derivatives), but smaller than Morocco (an alternative supplier to Europe). The high cost of capital in Ukraine could offset lower costs from higher capacity factors.If repurposed, existing gas pipelines to the European Union could transport nearly 33 Mtpa of hydrogen (80% through Slovakia). Most of the capacity is now available. Ukraine also has 13 underground gas sites which could store 2…

Mauritania
In 2019, Mauritania’s energy mix was dominated by oil products (65%) and biofuels and waste (32%). In 2020, 43% of the population had access to clean cooking which is the highest share in West Africa. In 2020, 47% of the population had access to electricity. For electricity access, the country targets universal access in urban areas and doubling of the current rate in rural areas by 2024, with country-wide universal access by 2030. For clean cooking, the target is 100% access to LPG in urban areas and 50% access to LPG in rural areas by 2030.

Morocco Mines Plan 2021-2030
The Morocco Mines Plan 2021-2030 seeks to revitalise the national mining industry, in particular non-phosphate mining, through development strategies that build upon the achievements of the 2013 strategy. The Plan seeks to promote responsible and sustainable development at the local, regional and national levels, combining good governance, economic integration, respect for the environment and the principle of sustainability and respect for the rights of local populations. It lays the foundation for a comprehensive approach towards integrated industrialisation and sustainable growth structured around four pillars:Pillar I: Development of a network of competitive actors.Pillar II: Institutional overhaul of…
