据8月2日离岸能源报道称，非洲能源集团Chariot的子公司Chariot Green Hydrogen、总部位于英国的绿色氢系统制造商Oort energy和摩洛哥穆罕默德六世理工大学(UM6P)签署了新的伙伴关系协议以扩大合作，在摩洛哥测试绿氢的生产。

需要提醒的是，双方于2022年11月首次建立合作关系。

据说，这些新协议的重点是电解槽试点项目的建设、调试和运营，以及该行业内技能和培训的进一步发展。

据双方称，该试点概念验证项目将使用由Oort获得专利的1兆瓦聚合物电解质膜（PEM）电解槽系统，该项目将在UM6P位于摩洛哥OCP Jorf Lasfar的研发设施进行。

两家公司进一步告知，该合作伙伴关系将同时发展UM6P的教育和能力建设，以支持绿色氢经济的增长，同时评估实施大规模绿色氢和氨生产的可行性，这与最初设想的时间表一致。

Chariot Green Hydrogen首席执行官Laurent Coche评论道，“这一合作伙伴关系汇集了关键资源，因为我们希望发展我们在该领域的专业知识，造福所有利益攸关者。这一努力是Chariot成为绿氢生产商的又一进步，随着我们发挥电解槽的性能优势，将对我们在摩洛哥和毛里塔尼亚的项目发展具有真正的价值”。

UM6P工业创新总监Mohamed Bousseta表示，“这两项协议的签署是UM6P的关键步骤，事实上，第一项协议涉及测试一种性能更好的新电解槽技术，以在绿氢生产中更具竞争力，第二项协议涉及培育合作，为技术人员应对绿氢和氨的新活动需求做好准备”。

Oort首席执行官Nick van Dijk指出，“在工业环境中测试我们电解槽的容量是我们发展规划的关键部分，电解槽的效率和耐用性将是确保绿氢能够经济地、可扩展地生产所不可或缺的因素。我们对这一阶段感到兴奋，这将有助于我们未来的增长战略”。

Chariot and partners extend collaboration on green H2 projects in Morocco

Chariot Green Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Africa-focused energy group Chariot, Oort Energy, a UK-based manufacturer of green hydrogen systems, and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) have signed new partnership agreements to extend their collaboration to test the production of green hydrogen in Morocco.

To remind, the parties first entered the partnership back in November 2022.

These new agreements are said to be focused on the construction, commissioning and operating of an electrolyser pilot project as well as further development of skills and training within the sector.

According to the parties, the pilot proof of concept project will utilize a 1 MW polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser system patented by Oort, and it is intended that the project will be hosted at UM6P’s research and development facility in OCP Jorf Lasfar, Morocco.

The companies further informed that the partnership will concurrently develop education and capacity building at UM6P to support the growth of the green hydrogen economy alongside evaluating the feasibility of the implementation of large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production, consistent with the timetable initially envisaged.

Laurent Coche, CEO of Chariot Green Hydrogen, commented: “This partnership pools key resources as we are looking to develop our knowledge and expertise in this sector for the benefit of all involved. This endeavour is another step forward in Chariot becoming a green hydrogen producer and will be of real value to our project developments in Morocco and Mauritania as we confirm electrolyser performances.”

Mohamed Bousseta, Director of Innovate for Industry at UM6P, stated: “The signing of these two agreements is key for UM6P; indeed the first one concerns the test of a new electrolyser technology with a better performance to be more competitive in green hydrogen production and the second one concerns collaboration in education to prepare skilled people for the need of this new activity in green hydrogen and ammonia.”

Nick van Dijk, CEO of Oort, noted: “Testing the capacity of our electrolyser in an industrial setting is a crucial part of our development planning. The efficiency and durability of electrolysers will be integral in ensuring that green hydrogen can be produced economically and on a scalable basis. We are excited about this phase which will help inform our future growth strategies.”
