Scoping
This partnership will include manufacturing a large-scale, integrated green ammonia and green fertiliser production facility. This will leverage Morocco’s abundant renewable resources to produce sustainable products that are essential for global agriculture and green energy markets.
Ideally Located, Rich in Energy
Morocco is poised to become a major player in the global energy transition. The country is home to some of the world’s most promising wind and solar resources and benefits from two large coastlines that provide direct access to European and Asian markets. This strategic geographical and economic positioning offers a robust platform for the multi-decade development of a green industry in North Africa, with the potential to become a global green energy super-hub.
Our partnership with OCP Group, one of the world’s largest phosphate mining companies, presents a unique opportunity for Fortescue to advance its green energy ambitions across multiple sectors, including generation, production, manufacturing, and export. Both Fortescue and OCP are fully aligned in our commitment to sustainability, not just in Morocco, but globally. Together, we are committed to advancing a new era of green energy, ensuring that our initiatives bring long-term benefits to the environment, the economy, and communities around the world.
"Together, Fortescue and OCP Group will build a world-leading and globally competitive platform to accompany Morocco's journey into a green energy production, manufacturing, and industrial powerhouse. We will be a key originator and green corridor into Europe and to and from the Atlantic basin."
