In Morocco, North Africa Post reported that Moroccan utility system construction company Falcon Capital Dakhla has signed a partnership deal with French company HDF Energy to build a green hydrogen production plant for a total investment of $2 billion in the region of Dakhla.
Dubbed White Dunes, the project seeks to produce green hydrogen and to reach a capacity of 10 GW in wind energy, 7 GW in photovoltaic energy and 8 GW in electrolysis, according to the report.
Majid Slimani, founder and president of Falcon Capital Dakhla, said: “To bring this project to fruition, we devoted almost two full years to the feasibility study. Over the last two years, we have been able to define a preliminary design for the project, as well as a phasing plan for a projected overall surface area of 150,000 hectares. This design was made possible by the installation of a measuring mast and the implementation of a preliminary environmental and social impact study, to determine the region’s sensitive flora and fauna zones.”
