Green ammonia for Morocco

H2 Global Energy says that it has completed initial studies for the development of a green hydrogen and ammonia plant in southern Morocco. With an anticipated production capacity of 1.0 million t/a of green ammonia, the project aims to use Morocco’s abundant solar and wind resources to produce green hydrogen, which will then be converted into green ammonia. Production is expected to be used in various sectors, including agriculture, transportation, and energy storage, supporting the global shift towards decarbonisation.

Mr. Waleed AlHallaj, Chief Commercial Officer of H2 Global Energy, said: “The establishment of the green hydrogen and ammonia plant is a significant step towards realising Morocco’s renewable energy ambitions. This facility will not only contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals but also create jobs and stimulate economic growth. We are excited about the potential of this project to support Morocco’s transition to a green economy and enhance its position in the global energy market.”

Dangote cleared of breaching fuel sulphur limits

A UK–based energy watchdog, the Impact Investigators Platform (IIP), has dismissed allegations that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery imported substandard gasoline into Nigeria, describing the claims as “technically inaccurate, commercially implausible, and unsupported by verifiable evidence.” The IIP said its independent assessment of shipping data, customs declarations, and refinery process documentation found no indication that the refinery imported or sold Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with sulphur levels above Nigeria’s approved limit of 50 parts per million (ppm). The investigation followed media reports alleging that a vessel had delivered high-sulphur gasoline to the Dangote Refinery under the guise of locally refined products. However, the IIP clarified that the cargo in question was an intermediate feedstock , a raw material used for refining and not finished gasoline meant for retail.
