Ms. Benali did not miss the opportunity to highlight a good number of projects in the field of energy transition to develop the hydrogen sector, which urged Morocco to join the FICH. This concerns the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia projects and their derivatives by 2030, and working to allow investors to have a clear vision of the future of infrastructure projects in the Kingdom, as well as on future gas and hydrogen pipelines, and strategic ports that Morocco aspires to achieve, as well as on ways to expand and connect them, and eliminate carbon from various vital sectors, calling for the dissemination of a culture of joint international cooperation rather than competition to achieve the characteristics of a sustainable international economy.
