  • Two days of plenary debate on hydrogen, solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, critical minerals, efficiency and financing.
  • Closed-door ministerial roundtables with the Ministry of Energy Transition, MASEN, ONEE and ANRE.
  • 200+ pre-qualified delegates from project developers, IOCs, NOCs, EPC contractors and lenders.
  • One-to-one meeting concierge matching sponsors with the ministries and offtakers shaping the Kingdom's 2030 pipeline.

Event insights

Eight tracks framing the Kingdom's transition.

Each track is anchored by a ministerial keynote, a project showcase and a financing roundtable. Browse the conversations awaiting you in Marrakech.

Green molecules at industrial scale.

Morocco is positioning itself as the closest large-scale producer of green ammonia and methanol to European demand centres. The summit convenes the offtakers, electrolyser OEMs and infrastructure financiers turning MoUs into bankable projects.

Sessions cover the green hydrogen offer signed with the EU, OCP's captive ammonia roadmap, and the policy framework MASEN is finalising for export-grade hydrogen.

Featured project

The Dakhla Atlantic green hydrogen cluster — moderated by Hydrogen Europe and Mitsubishi Power, in conversation with MASEN and KfW.

From Noor to next-generation CSP and hybrid PV.

The Noor complex put Morocco on the global solar map. The next decade is about hybrid PV-plus-storage at gigawatt scale, dispatchable CSP refits, and unlocking distributed solar for industry.

The track is built around the next Noor tenders, ANRE's net-metering review, and the offtake structures that will derisk hybrid plants.

Atlantic-coast onshore and the offshore question.

Morocco's wind regime — among the strongest in the world along the southern Atlantic — has driven the largest onshore farms in Africa. The summit opens the conversation on offshore feasibility studies and the next 1.4 GW of onshore tenders.

Pumped storage as Morocco's grid backbone.

With variable renewables crossing 50% of the mix by 2030, the Kingdom is doubling down on pumped hydro storage — extending the El Menzel-Abdelmoumen project and scoping new sites in the Middle Atlas.

Agri-waste and the bio-economy.

Morocco's olive, citrus and argan sectors produce significant agri-waste streams; the summit explores how biomass-to-power, biogas and biofuel pathways can decarbonise heat and rural electricity.

Cobalt, phosphate and the transition supply chain.

Morocco controls 70%+ of global phosphate reserves and is positioning OCP as the green-anchored fertiliser major. Add cobalt processing and rare-earth ambitions and the Kingdom is a critical-minerals story.

Decarbonising industry & the built environment.

Energy efficiency remains the cheapest tonne of CO₂ avoided. The track convenes Morocco's industrial primes — cement, steel, automotive — around heat pumps, recovered-heat steam, and the new building code.

Concessional, blended & sovereign — financing the transition.

The development finance community has anchored Morocco's renewables story for 15 years. This track examines what the next $30B will look like — and how blended structures, sovereign guarantees and green bonds will deploy it.

In their words

What previous delegates say about The Net-Zero Circle.

"

The Net-Zero Circle is the only platform that puts ministry counterparts, project developers and the financing community in one room and lets them have the conversation that actually moves projects. Marrakech 2026 is on our calendar.

"

For a development bank, the value is the curation. Every delegate has been vetted and every conversation has a project behind it. We closed two mandates from the Argentina edition; Morocco is the natural next stop.

"

The summit is industrially serious in a way that most events are not. We came expecting protocol; we left with three EPC conversations and a framework MoU with MASEN. That is not normal.
