Thursday 14:00 Opening. Energy transition and sustainable development in Morocco

With the Ministry of Energy Transition and the Bank of Africa. Energy transition and sustainable development in Morocco.
The Kingdom of Morocco  aims to increase the part of renewable energy to 52% by 2030, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization. However, for the transition to be truly sustainable, it must be inclusive, addressing key socio-economic challenges such as industrial

Thursday 15:00 The decarbonization roadmap

The beginning of the decarbonization revolution raises uncertainties in many areas: technology, economics, geopolitics. The decarbonization roadmap will try to clear the path.

Energy mix (by fossil fuels and major clean energies);

Final consumption and emissions (split by sectors, including industry, transport, buildings, etc.);

Regulatory aspects & geopolitical uncertainties
Tech trends (solar, wind, nuclear, heat pumps, EV, hydrogen, CCUS, AI, etc.)

 Thursday 16:00  Decarbonization in mobility

What is the future of net zero mobility, both in road, airline and maritime transport?

Transport emissions have grown faster than those of any other sector over the past 50 years. Demand for transport will continue to grow massively in the coming decades. As a result, CO₂ emissions from transport activity will not fall, but could increase by 60% by 2050. Electrification of transport and decarbonization of the automotive industry, powered by renewable electricity, is at the center of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction efforts.

 Thursday 18:00  Business cocktail

Two hours dedicated to business discussions among participants.

 Thursday 20:00  dinner

Special Dinner gathering investors, start ups, speakers

Friday 9:00 Decarbonization in industry

The industrial sector is progressively becoming the primary source of CO₂ emissions, and its decarbonization is critical to limiting the global temperature increase. Three industries – iron and steel, non-metallic minerals (cement, glass, lime), and chemical industries – are responsible for 70 percent of all direct industrial CO₂ emissions today. Innovation will be key to decarbonize the industry, particularly in high temperature heat applications.What organizational and technological  solutions to drive operations towards net zero? Industrial decarbonization focuses on two challenges: delivering clean energy for industrial consumption with much of this being used to create large amounts of heat for which electricity is inefficient, and abating the CO2 created in the industrial process.

Friday 10:30 How IA can support decarbonization

How can AI support and accelerate the path to decarbonization ?
What are the available solutions and their proofs of concept?

Some AI applications are designed to tackle climate change, for example to reduce emissions from the energy and transport sectors, from buildings, industry operations and from land use. Optimizing supply chains will make manufacturing more efficient and support the integration of renewable energy into electricity grids.
