In August 2021, the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines, and the Environment announced a new national roadmap for the development of natural gas 2021-2050. The roadmap lays the groundwork for the development of natural gas for industrial needs initially, followed by domestic needs, while continuing its development to integrate electricity generation needs. The first step in this roadmap would be to put in place a regulatory framework for the natural gas sector. The second step would assess demand as it has evolved from recent years to current consumption, as well as its potential for future demand. The third stage would evaluate the various options for supplying natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), in particular by gas pipelines, floating storage and regasification units, on shore terminals or even multidirectional flows. Also it would evaluate the deployment of a new transport network in order to link all the components of the gas plan and to develop their own capacities for the reception and storage of natural gas and LNG to ensure a secure supply.
