The Green H2 cluster wants to know more regarding electrolysis, one of the seawater desalination techniques that Morocco might use to be able to produce green hydrogen in quantity. It is in this regard that he organized a workshop on electrolysis and its various economic and financial aspects, on March 31 in Casablanca. A workshop where three companies were invited to present their experiences. In particular ONEE, which presented the challenges and opportunities related to the desalination of seawater using electrolysis.
Cummins, a world leader in green hydrogen production technologies and fuel cells, which unveiled green hydrogen production technologies and the latest fuel cell developments. And Technip, a company specializing in the design and implementation of green hydrogen projects, which has demonstrated its expertise in the design and implementation of green hydrogen projects.
On this occasion, Mohamed Yahya Zniber, President of Cluster Green H2, declared that “we are delighted to bring together the main players in the green hydrogen ecosystem in Morocco to discuss electrolysis and its various economic and financial aspects. “. During the workshop, it was noted that there are three seawater desalination techniques: reverse osmosis desalination, electrolysis and thermal distillation.
The price of desalinated water produced by reverse osmosis is the least expensive. The cubic meter ex factory costs 1 euro (regarding 11 DH/m3). By electrolysis, this price is multiplied by 3, i.e. almost 33 DH/m3; while by distillation, it takes 9 euros / m3, or nearly 99 DH / m3. Could electrolysis enable Morocco to produce competitive green hydrogen? That is the question!
