Project Title:

Application and Further Development of Environmentally Compatible Renewable Energy Technologies in Marocco

Ref.No.: 193

Project Type and Category:

Hydrogen production

Project Duration:

1991

Project Participants:

LBST, Prof. Dr. A. Bennouna, CNR Rabat, Marocco

Sponsor:

Bavarian Ministry for Regional Development and Environmental Issues, Munich, Bavarian Ministry for Commerce and Transit, Munich

Project Budget and
Funding:

Project Description and Objectives:

The Bavarian-Maroccan cooperation in the field of solar-hydrogen technology was initiated at the political level. In this study options for a long term environmentally neutral energy production on the basis of renewable sources are to be identified. The goal of the cooperation is to meet currently growing energy demands and to replace present power plants with technologies exploiting wind and solar energy sources as well as to explore the long term prospects of using an intercontinental connection for the export of electricity and for hydrogen. The technical and commercial status of wind energy converters in windparks, solar-thermal parabolic channel power plants and photovoltaic power facilities is herein described as well as potential for cost reductions.
Two potential sites for 100 MW power plants are considered in some detail. Feeding such power directly into mains, decentralized sea water desalinisation and — by sufficient power — production of hydrogen are applications treated as preferential.

Technical Goals:

Feasibility study

Project Status

Finalized

Preliminary or Final Results:

Sketch of further work to be done:
· Installation of necessary measurement programms,
· Selection of facilities sites,
· development of the market for renewable energy technologies,
· strategic development of hydrogen business,
· identification of suitable financing concepts,
· provision of adequate professional education,
· intensification of cooperation between Marroccan and German institutions in the field of research and development.
