Morocco energy transition and carbon market regulation

Overview

Morocco is implementing new regulatory frameworks to advance its energy transition and climate commitments.

In late August, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development introduced requirements for new fuel stations, mandating that project holders incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar power, during the design phase. These regulations also establish unified rules for distances between stations to ensure consistency and support the infrastructure needs of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Following these sector-specific measures, the government unveiled a draft bill in mid-September to establish a national carbon market. This proposed legislation aims to create a legal architecture for climate action and a ‘National Carbon Market Registry’ to track greenhouse gas emission-reduction projects. The law is intended to align national regulations with international standards, including the Paris Agreement, by implementing a transparency system and a national accreditation system for verification bodies.
