During bilateral meetings with his German counterparts, Mr Rabbah outlined two areas of action in which Morocco would like to work more closely with Germany: energy efficiency and hydrogen/“Power to X”. He suggested the development of an "Investment Strategy" for hydrogen, and the signature of a MoU on this subject at the next high-level meeting.
