During this meeting, the two parties discussed the meeting in Rabat yesterday, the opportunities to integrate clean energies in various transportation patterns, including road, marine, and air transport, by enhancing the use of green molecules, especially hydrogen and its derivatives, within the framework of an integrated national vision that aims to achieve a transmission towards the low carbon transport system.

The meeting also constituted an occasion to exchange visions on promising industrial capabilities in the value chains associated with the transport and energy sectors, by encouraging investment in strategic industries, such as cables, batteries, solar and wind, in a way that contributes to enhancing the industrial sovereignty of the Kingdom, and creating integrated production and distribution systems.
