Dakhla Atlantic Port (DAP)

Objective

The main objective for hydrogen at Dakhla Atlantic Port (DAP) is to establish it as a major hub for green hydrogen and ammonia production and export, particularly to Europe. This aligns with Morocco's broader strategy to become a leader in renewable energy and leverage its potential for green hydrogen production. The port is designed to facilitate the development of large-scale green hydrogen projects

Description

The port is located approximately 40 km north of Dakhla, in the occupied territory of Western Sahara. It will include a trade port, a fishing port and a shipyard. Once operational, the port, occupying 650 hectares, is expected to handle 35 million tonnes of goods a year, and also serve as a key infrastructure element operating in the field of transportation and storage of green hydrogen. In the vicinity of the port, one thousand hectares will be allocated for economic activities, including a logistic pole, a general industrial zone, a marine competitiveness pole, a commercial zone and a shared public services pole.
