In a historic move opening promising horizons in clean energy, Morocco has announced its first initiative to explore lithium in the Moroccan Sahara through a strategic partnership between the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines and LARC Morocco.
In a scene marking a qualitative shift in the kingdom’s natural resource exploitation, Amina Benkhadra, Director General of the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines, and Carl Esprey, CEO of LARC Morocco, signed a cooperation agreement to explore lithium in the “Bir El Mammy” area in the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region.
This project holds significant importance in the context of global transition towards clean energy, as lithium is a fundamental element in battery manufacturing, particularly those used in electric vehicles. This initiative strengthens Morocco’s position as a regional player in renewable energy.
Through this partnership, Morocco aims to achieve three strategic objectives: supporting the transition to clean energy, enhancing industrial sovereignty, and contributing to the region’s economic development. This direction has been welcomed by Moroccan officials and international observers, who see it as an opportunity to attract foreign investment and strengthen the kingdom’s position as a regional hub for renewable energy.
With the growing global demand for clean energy sources, Morocco appears to have chosen the right timing to enter the lithium market, enhancing its competitive position in the global clean energy market and opening new horizons for international cooperation in this vital field.
With this step, Morocco has inaugurated a new phase in its economic history, confirming its commitment to sustainable development and energy source diversification, within a strategic vision that looks to the future and keeps pace with global transitions in clean energy.
