The Minister of Industry and Commerce, Riad Mazour, declared Tuesday in Marrakech that the success of the energy transition requires strengthening the national industrial system.
During a ministerial discussion session organized as part of the fourth edition of the Global Green Hydrogen Summit, Mazour highlighted the importance of building a strong system capable of promoting the goal of integrating 30 to 40 percent of renewable energies in the national energy mix.
In this regard, the minister stressed the need to prepare the national industry to face these major challenges, highlighting the great potential that the energy transition offers to transform the economic landscape of the Kingdom, calling for more efforts to ensure optimal adaptation of the industry. .
On the other hand, Mr. Mazur underlined the importance of promoting local talents and capacities in the development of renewable energy projects, calling on investors to be informed of these capacities, “which are often not exploited as required “.
He continued that the energy transition “should not be considered as an objective in itself, but must also lead to the creation of significant employment opportunities for Moroccans.”
Mazur stressed: “It is necessary that our ambition in the energy field translates into sustainable employment opportunities,” stressing that the objective is to transform energy production capacity into sustainable jobs.
The minister also underlined the importance of creating a value chain focused on local innovation, so that the energy transition benefits both investors and Moroccan citizens.
