Through their visionary alliance, OCP and UM6P unite industrial expertise with academic rigor to foster innovation, driving progress and excellence. As a main partner of the Climate Impulse initiative, they are tackling critical technological challenges to advance renewable energy solutions. Their collaborative efforts contribute to positioning Morocco as a leading hub for sustainability, demonstrating their shared ambition to drive resilience and sustainable development for the nation, Africa, and the world.

Tarfaya, from Aviation Legacy to Green Energy Hub

Historically known as a gateway to Africa, Morocco plays a strategic role in global sustainability efforts. Its southern coastal town of Tarfaya, once home to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the celebrated French aviator and author of The Little Prince, holds a unique place in history. Tarfaya’s modest airstrip once connected continents through Aéropostale, and today, it is poised to become a hub of innovation in renewable energy through OCP’s green hydrogen project.

Expanding Horizons for a Sustainable Future

Founded over a century ago, OCP has evolved beyond its foundational phosphate business to embrace sustainability and climate action as core pillars of its mission. The green hydrogen project in Tarfaya is emblematic of this strategic shift, harnessing Morocco's abundant wind and solar resources. This initiative not only underscores the company’s forward-looking strategy but also its position as a major contributor in the global transition to cleaner energy. By integrating renewable energy solutions in its Green Investment Plan, OCP is on a path to achieving carbon neutrality.
