Theoretical Applications AFC-ENERGY/Morocco/Acciona...Decarbonizing the Construction Phase: Such mega-projects in the desert require electricity for construction sites, camps, and machinery for years before the power grid is operational. Acciona could utilize AFC Energy's hydrogen generators to build "green" from the outset.
Ammonia-to-Power: The project in Morocco focuses heavily on green ammonia. AFC Energy has a market-leading technology for ammonia crackers. When the Moroccan ammonia arrives in Europe by ship, crackers are needed to generate electricity or pure hydrogen. Acciona is already familiar with AFC's technology and could integrate it into the logistics chain as an end-to-end solution. Acciona has already successfully tested AFC Energy's fuel cell systems (e.g., the H-Power Tower) on construction sites in Spain to replace diesel generators.
Acciona was one of the first major industrial customers to order systems from AFC Energy (most recently, a 50 kW S-Series generator was delivered in 2023 for use in Spain).
Acciona aims to decarbonize its global construction sites. Since the megaprojects in Morocco require massive infrastructure projects (construction of wind farms, solar plants, pipelines, and ports), the demand for emission-free energy on-site is enormous.
