Policy and Strategic Perspectives on Green Hydrogen and Renewable Energy in Emerging Countries

This chapter provides a policy and strategic overview of green hydrogen and renewable energy deployment in emerging economies, using Morocco as a focused case study. It synthesizes the national legal, institutional, and market context shaping investment conditions, and links these frameworks to implementation realities across infrastructure, finance, and governance. The chapter reviews Morocco's renewable energy trajectory, the evolving electricity market architecture, and the Green Hydrogen Morocco Offer, including the role of public private partnerships, as enabling platforms for integrated projects and export-oriented value chains. It highlights the opportunities and constraints created by Morocco's evolving regulatory and market reforms, the role of the regulator, and the need for clear grid reception capacity and permitting procedures. It then examines cross cutting deployment dimensions and concludes with actionable, transferable lessons for other emerging countries pursuing green hydrogen scale up.
