OUR VISION & MISSION
ORNX SUPPORTS MOROCCO'S ENERGY TRANSITION THROUGH THE LOCAL PRODUCTION OF GREEN HYDROGEN
Hydrogen is a critical commodity for industry, used in essential processes like refining and fertilizer production, and is increasingly sought after in new applications in energy, industry, and transportation. However, conventional hydrogen production from fossil fuels causes significant negative environmental impacts and suffers from high-cost volatility.
The green hydrogen sector is growing rapidly thanks to advancements in technology and the falling cost of renewable energy. With the right approach, we can harness these changes to produce low-cost green hydrogen, using only electricity and water.
ORNX aims to lead in green hydrogen innovation and help Morocco achieve energy independence.
Our mission extends to forging partnerships and investing in pioneering technologies that make it possible for green hydrogen to transform industries, slash carbon emissions, and fuel economic growth.
We strive to help Morocco become greener, more sustainable, while at the same time serving as a hub for green hydrogen and derivative duels production and distribution in close proximity to Europe.
WHY MOROCCO ?
ABUNDANCE
