Morocco Charts Path to Low-Carbon Future Through Strategic Carbon Markets
Rabat — Morocco's Energy Transition Minister Leila Benali outlined on Tuesday the country's ambitious low-carbon vision at the second 'Scaling of Carbon Markets in Africa' conference in Casablanca. She said the North African country views carbon markets not as a technical checkbox but as a strategic tool for sustainable development. Beyond technical compliance 'This is not about checking boxes. This is a deeply ethical, strategic, and economic choice,' Benali argued at the conference organized by Casablanca Finance City Authority and CDG Group with international partners. She pointed out that Morocco treats carbon markets as more than just technical mechanisms — they anchor the country's development model across energy, economic, and social dimensions. Morocco has shown remarkable foresight by building its carbon market foundation before the Paris Agreement's Article 6 mechanisms were finalized. 'Climate action should no longer be the privilege of big emitters. It must be an approach that takes advantage of Morocco's main competitive advantages,' the minister explained. Strategic energy moves Benali noted Morocco's resilience during challenging geopolitical moments, particularly when Algeria cut gas supplies to Europe in 2021. The crisis pushed the North African country to take bold steps, including strengthening pipeline networks to support both natural gas and future green hydrogen use. The country has made decisive moves toward clean energy, aiming to abandon coal in its electricity generation plan by 2030. It has also canceled planned coal projects in Nador and Jarada, the minister noted. Meanwhile, work continues on converting fuel oil turbines to natural gas, with the Nador West Med project serving as Morocco's first LNG entry point. Building international partnerships The North African country has signed bilateral agreements with Switzerland, Singapore, South Korea, and Norway to develop high-impact projects. It has also launched the 'Carbon Balance Morocco' project in partnership with the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection, the Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency, the Ministry of Industry, the Moroccan Standardization Institute, and business leaders. African leadership vision Benali described Morocco as an emerging 'corridor for strategic transition metals and minerals between Africa, Europe, and the Atlantic basin.' The country plans to create an ESG certification mechanism for resources extracted or processed in Morocco. The minister further called for African-defined standards to facilitate financing for the mineral value chain. Morocco is developing a national certification system for green electrons and gradually liberalizing the medium-voltage market. Competitive advantage through carbon certification The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism has pushed exporting industries to adopt low-carbon practices. Benali sees carbon certification as a 'tool for competitiveness, market share preservation, and decarbonization support.' Morocco's approach demonstrates how developing nations can turn climate challenges into economic opportunities through strategic planning and international cooperation.

Egypt's Blu EV Plans $100 Million Investment in Morocco's Electric Mobility Market
Rabat – Blu EV, an Egyptian electric mobility company backed by billionaire Naguib Sawiris, is preparing to enter the Moroccan market by the end of this year. The company, which specializes in converting motorcycles from gasoline to electric power, aims to invest $100 million in the country. Speaking to Asharq Business, Blu EV co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Reda Baalbaki said that the expansion into Morocco is part of a larger plan to grow gradually across North Africa and the Middle East. The company also continues to expand within Egypt, aiming to provide affordable and eco-friendly two-wheeled transportation solutions. Their electric bikes cost around 30% less to operate than traditional fuel-powered motorcycles, Baalbaki said, highlighting the company's focus on reducing pollution and offering low-cost mobility options. Blu EV was launched in 2023 and is chaired by prominent Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris. Sawiris invested $120 million in the company through a partnership with Orascom Investment Holding, a firm owned by the Sawiris family. Baalbaki explained that Blu EV currently operates in several Egyptian cities, including East Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia, the North Coast, and El Gouna. It has already set up over 50 battery-swapping stations, with a focus this year on expanding further into Greater Cairo. The company plans to cover the rest of Egypt over the next five years. Blu EV's main service is converting regular motorcycles into electric ones by replacing the fuel engine with an electric motor. The company also manages a smart network of battery-swapping stations to support the use of these electric bikes. Morocco has taken several steps in recent years to support electric vehicles. The country has launched public charging stations in major cities and on highways, and local automakers have shown interest in producing EVs. In addition, Morocco is home to two major car factories that have started producing electric or hybrid models for export. Last week, Renault Tangier celebrated the production of the 2,000th Mobilize DUO, the first fully electric four-wheeled vehicle made in Morocco. However, the local use of EVs remains low due to the high cost of electric cars and the limited number of charging stations. Most EV initiatives have focused on electric cars, with little attention to motorcycles, despite their widespread use in cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Fez. Tags: EgyptElectric Vehiclesev

Renault Celebrates Production of Morocco's First Fully Electric Quadricycle
Rabat – The Renault factory in Tangier celebrated on Friday the production of the 2,000th Mobilize DUO, the first fully electric four-wheeled vehicle made in Morocco. The car is part of a newer category of small electric vehicles designed for city driving. A communication system developed by engineers in Morocco has been integrated into the vehicle, which is mainly intended for export to European markets. It was designed and assembled entirely by Moroccan talent, with engineering and production teams receiving over 8,000 hours of training in new skills related to electric mobility. The launch event saw the participation of Morocco's Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, CEO of Mobilize Gianluca De Ficchy, and General Manager of Renault Group Morocco Mohamed Bachiri. Also present at the event was the President of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region Omar Moro, Tangier Med CEO Mehdi Tazi Riffi, and other local officials and business leaders. The Mobilize DUO, fully electric and designed for city transport, is being built at a new assembly line inside the Tangier factory, which can produce up to 17,000 units per year. The line was specifically designed for fully electric vehicles and uses more advanced technology to meet these requirements. This project also allowed for the inclusion of a new group of Moroccan suppliers that specialize in electric vehicle components, helping them grow and boosting the local auto industry. Speaking at the ceremony, Mezzour said the factory, 'a leader in carbon neutrality and operational excellence, shows our shared commitment to developing Morocco's ability to innovate and adapt.' 'We are proud to witness the production of the 2,000th Mobilize DUO, the first 100% electric car made at Renault Tangier,' the minister said. He also commended Renault's progress, especially its integration of new suppliers, saying it strengthens Morocco's role as a strategic hub for electric mobility. Gianluca De Ficchy, CEO of Mobilize, said that his company aims to remove the barriers to electric mobility by offering financing, charging, and transport solutions that are accessible to all. 'The DUO is a result of our efforts to create urban transport that is safer, smarter, and more sustainable,' he added. Meanwhile, Renault Morocco's head, Mohamed Bachiri, said that the DUO project reflects the group's ongoing trust in the Moroccan industrial platform. The project is part of the broader momentum behind the Made in Morocco label, he stressed.
