KEY ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE
ABOUT US
The ORNX Morocco Green Hydrogen Platform is a joint venture between Ortus Power Resources Morocco and Acciona and Nordex Green Hydrogen.
Ortus Power Resources Morocco,
An accomplished team with a proven record in developing large-scale renewable projects, was involved in the successful 120 MW Khalladi Wind Project - the first wind farm to be developed and constructed in Morocco with a private power purchase agreements.
ACCIONA & Nordex Green Hydrogen,
A joint venture of ACCIONA and Nordex which are global leaders in wind turbine manufacturing and renewable energy, brings extensive expertise in infrastructure development, water desalinization, construction and operation.
FOCUS ON
ORNX GREEN HYDROGEN
The ORNX Green Hydrogen Platform aims to invest in the advancement of large-scale wind and solar projects to produce green hydrogen in Morocco
These facilities will be instrumental in producing green hydrogen, which can be utilized either as a direct renewable fuel, or blended with other gases to manufacture ammonia; or synthetic fuels, like methanol or SAF, employing established chemical processes.
The Platform encompasses electricity generating sites, and a strategically located industrial complex designed for storage and industrial processes. ORNX will take advantage of vertical and horizontal integration opportunities in connection with the electricity generating sites, the industrial complex and new or modified shipping infrastructure within Morocco.
​
Production & Value Chain
Green hydrogen represents a breakthrough in the goal for clean energy and is generated through a process called electrolysis, where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable sources like solar and wind power.
It's essentially a way of storing renewable energy in the form of hydrogen gas. During electrolysis, electricity is used to break down water molecules, releasing hydrogen gas, with very low levels of greenhouse gases emissions.
OUR PROJECTS
The ORNX Green Hydrogen platform comprises three green electricity-generating sites located in the Southern Moroccan desert near Boujdour, Dakhla and Laayoune and one site dedicated to storage and industrial processes near the Port of Laayoune.
​
These sites are located on land where there is currently no residential, economic, agricultural or recreation activities.
