A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsMARRAKECH, - Morocco's state-owned phosphates and fertiliser producer OCP said on Tuesday it had signed an agreement with the International Finance Corporation , the World Bank's investment arm, on a 100 million-euro loan to build two solar plants to increase production of low-carbon fertilizers.

The two photovoltaic plants will be located in the mining areas of Khouribga and Benguerir with a combined capacity of 400 megawatts and a storage capacity of up to 100 megawatt-hours, OCP said in a statement. This green loan is the second offered by the IFC to OCP within a year after a similar 100 million-euro loan last April to build four plants with a combined capacity of 202 megawatts in the same mining areas.

Last year, OCP announced an investment plan worth 130 billion dirhams to fully rely on renewable energies for its fertiliser production by 2027. In June, OCP told Reuters it plans to invest $7 billion in an ammonia plant using green hydrogen, produced from renewable fuel.
