Upper Austrian delegation explores Moroccan green hydrogen imports

October 15, 2026 |

In Morocco, Morocco World News reported that the country’s renewable energy potential and industrial infrastructure have attracted interest from an Upper Austrian delegation exploring possible green hydrogen imports and business opportunities in the African nation.

According to Austrian press reports, Markus Achleitner, Upper Austria’s regional economy councillor, and Günther Steinkellner, the region’s infrastructure councillor, visited Morocco to examine prospects for energy cooperation and industrial partnerships.

The delegation’s visit included the port complex of Tanger Med, where the officials examined infrastructure that could support future energy transport and strengthen trade links between Morocco and Europe, according to the report.

Achleitner said green hydrogen would play a key role in the industrial transition, particularly in energy-intensive regions such as Upper Austria.

“Upper Austria is the most energy-intensive federal state in Austria. Hydrogen plays a key role for our industry. That is why we are closely monitoring international developments and want to learn from Morocco’s experience,” he said.
