Morocco has unveiled plans to construct a new LNG terminal at the port of Nador, which is currently under development, as part of the Nigeria-Morocco pipeline project.
The announcement came through a gas infrastructure roadmap agreement signed by several Moroccan Ministries, including Finance and Energy, in March.
The roadmap, set to unfold over several years, prioritizes the development of LNG import facilities, including storage and transport infrastructure.
Immediate objectives include the construction of gas pipelines to connect domestic fields with consumers and the establishment of an LNG terminal at Nador West Med port, strategically positioned to link with the Maghreb-Europe pipeline.
In a statement, the Moroccan government affirmed, “The roadmap aligns with Morocco’s steadfast commitment to enhancing its energy sovereignty, decarbonizing its economy, and fostering connectivity with regional and international markets.”
