Sahamco advances $25 billion green hydrogen and ammonia project in Morocco
In Morocco, Energy News reported that Sahamco Holding BV has completed advanced pre-feasibility studies for the first phase of a planned $25 billion green hydrogen and renewable ammonia complex in Morocco’s Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region.
The developer is targeting a final investment decision (FID) in the third quarter of 2027, with commercial operations expected to begin in 2031, according to the report.
The first phase is estimated to require an investment of approximately $4 billion and produce around 1 million tons of renewable ammonia annually. The project could eventually expand capacity to between 4 million and 5 million tons per year, positioning it as a potential large-scale supplier to international markets.
The report noted that the project is designed as an integrated industrial complex combining renewable electricity generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis. Its initial output would primarily target export markets, particularly Europe and the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) logistics hub, which serves major industrial and chemical markets.
