NAREVA’s Haouma Green Hydrogen Project represents an important step in Morocco’s transition toward low-carbon industry and renewable-based hydrogen production. Presented as a pilot initiative, the project combines renewable electricity, electrolysis technology, and industrial offtake to demonstrate the operational viability of green hydrogen in the Moroccan context.  
 
Beyond its pilot scale, the initiative is positioned as a strategic building block for future large-scale hydrogen and green ammonia developments. 

RINA is supporting NAREVA as Owner’s Engineer, starting from the preliminary development phases and working until the commissioning of the plant, underscoring both companies’ commitment to the energy transition and industrial decarbonization. 

For RINA, the project also reflects a strategic opportunity to expand its hydrogen portfolio and reinforce its role as a trusted partner in Morocco’s rapidly advancing clean 
energy sector. 

Although limited in scale, the Haouma pilot project carries broader strategic significance. By validating the integration of wind energy and electrolysis under real operating conditions, the project generates valuable insight into technical performance, operational feasibility, and the management of renewable intermittency. It also contributes to the development of Morocco’s emerging hydrogen ecosystem and supports the longer-term potential for derivative products such as green ammonia. 

NAREVA brings to the project a strong renewable energy platform and a proven track record across wind, solar, hydro, and thermal generation, supported by collaborations with major technology providers such as Siemens Gamesa. The Haouma site further benefits from its proximity to Tangier and the Tanger Med Port complex, creating longer-term potential to connect hydrogen production with industrial demand and export-oriented value chains.  

For RINA, participation in this initiative reinforces its position as a trusted engineering and advisory partner for energy transition projects in high-potential markets. 

The plant has been conceived as a compact, modular hydrogen production unit integrating the electrolyze, utility and auxiliary containers, medium-voltage infrastructure, transformer and rectifier systems, and dedicated cooling equipment. This configuration makes the project especially relevant as a live demonstration platform for renewable-powered electrolysis in an operating wind environment. Through its engineering support, RINA helps ensure that the pilot is underpinned by robust technical oversight and a disciplined approach to performance validation. 

A defining strength of the delivery model is its combination of international expertise and local execution. RINA in Italy contributes specialist hydrogen and engineering capabilities, including detailed engineering review and the preparation of a 24-month test protocol, while RINA in Morocco provides on-the-ground support for site supervision, commissioning, start-up, and performance testing.  

Together, the two organizations deliver a model that combines technical depth with local responsiveness, an essential requirement for this developing industrial segment.
