Metacon AB, a Swedish green hydrogen tech firm, has entered Morocco’s fast-growing hydrogen market by securing a major deal.
The contract involves supplying a 1 MW pressurized alkaline electrolysis plant as part of a pilot project.
First announced in a March 19, 2025, press release, this move marks Metacon’s initial step into Morocco’s renewable sector.
The client, a major renewable energy company with about 2,000 MW—mainly wind—has partnered with Metacon to expand into green hydrogen.
The turnkey contract is valued at EUR 1,820,600.
Metacon will design and deliver the electrolysis plant as a complete, containerized system, ready to install at the customer’s site.
This pilot plant aims to optimize pressurized alkaline electrolyzers that directly connect to wind turbines.
Insights from the project will guide the client’s plan to scale up industrial production of green hydrogen, e-fuels, and green ammonia in Morocco.
This development reflects North Africa’s growing role in the green hydrogen space, thanks to abundant renewable resources.
The client, a key player in Africa’s wind energy sector, aims to lead green hydrogen production in Morocco and the wider region.
Metacon’s CEO, Christer Wikner, expressed excitement over the deal, seeing it as the start of a lasting partnership for large-scale green hydrogen projects.
Metacon designs and builds advanced systems for producing fossil-free green hydrogen.
Its Electrolysis unit partners with PERIC Hydrogen Technologies in China to offer full-scale hydrogen production solutions.
The company also supports clean transport through hydrogen refueling stations integrated with production systems.
Metacon’s Reforming unit uses its patented HIWAR® technology to generate hydrogen from biogas and other renewable hydrocarbons.
Metacon S.A., its Greece-based subsidiary, leads R&D for the reforming unit, focusing on efficient, compact hydrogen reformers.
Through this Moroccan venture, Metacon strengthens its position as a key player in North Africa’s clean energy transition.
