At #CERAWeek, the spotlight is on how industries can achieve profitable decarbonization while driving sustainability and innovation. Hanane Mourchid, Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer at OCP Group, contributed to the Strategic Roundtable "Can Heavy Industries Decarbonize Profitably?", sharing insights on how agriculture and plant nutrition solutions play a key role in reducing global emissions while improving food security. Agriculture accounts for up to 24% of global GHG emissions, making decarbonization essential. Plant nutrition solutions reduce emissions by enhancing soil carbon storage, preventing degradation, and optimizing water use. They also improve nutrient absorption, making farming more resilient. 💬 Hanane Mourchid: "#Customization is a game-changer that will revolutionize global agriculture by significantly reducing its carbon footprint, enhancing #soilhealth, and improving yields. OCP Group’s approach has already prevented millions of tons of CO₂ emissions, proving that precision in fertilization is key to a low-carbon, food-secure future." Collaboration and investment in low-carbon technologies are key to overcoming regulatory challenges and building a sustainable, resilient #foodsystem. #CERAWeek #Decarbonization #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Agriculture #FoodSecurity #Innovation

At #CERAWeek, Naoufal Mahdar, Director of Decarbonization & Climate Action at OCP Group, joined the conversation on Africa’s multi-dimensional energy transition attractiveness. As global ambition towards energy transition intensifies, #Africa’s strategies are shifting to foster long-term economic development and resilience. Countries like #Morocco are already advancing large-scale projects that will play a key role in the global shift toward sustainable energy. For OCP Group, this transformation goes beyond energy, it’s about integrating sustainability, industrial innovation, and resilience to drive long-term impact. As Naoufal Mahdar shared, “#OCPGroup positions itself as an important player for Africa and Europe’s energy transition while fulfilling its mission of #soilhealth and plant nutrition provider, for a positive economic, environmental, and social impact.” #EnergyTransition #AfricaInnovation #SustainableGrowth

We’re at #CERAWeek to engage in high-level discussions on decarbonization levers, green innovation technologies, and policies, while exploring #Africa’s pivotal role in the global energy transition. Naoufal Mahdar, Director of Decarbonization & Climate Action at OCP Group, and Till Zeino-Mahmalat, Director of Green Hydrogen & Derivatives, actively contributed to key discussions on low-carbon fertilizers, clean energy, and the role of green hydrogen in decarbonization. Naoufal Mahdar highlighted the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM) as a strong incentive for investing in low-carbon technologies while promoting global transparency and improved environmental performance. He also outlined OCP Group’s strategy to align with CBAM requirements ensuring compliance while strengthening global food security through sustainable agricultural solutions. “OCP Group supports Europe’s ambition to achieve its green transition. We are engaged in an ambitious #GreenEnergy program while fulfilling our mission of improving #SoilHealth and food security.” Till Zeino-Mahmalat emphasized the potential of #GreenAmmonia as a hydrogen derivative for fertilizers, maritime fuel, and industrial applications. With Morocco’s high-quality renewables, strategic export position, and strong industrial ecosystem, the country is well-positioned to lead in green hydrogen production. “Green ammonia as a #hydrogen derivative presents strong market opportunities in the fertilizer industry, chemical applications, maritime fuel, and as a hydrogen carrier.” #ClimateAction #Decarbonization #GreenHydrogen CERAWeek

Our journey at #COP16Riyadh is in full swing, marked by valuable participation and impactful dialogue! Yesterday, Hanane Mourchid, our Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer shared her expertise in two pivotal discussions: 🟢 Unlocking Co-benefits for #Soil, #Water, and #Farmer Resilience In this session organized by World Economic Forum, we delved into the transformative power of regenerative agriculture to restore degraded lands and enhance farmer resilience. Hanane emphasized: “Empowering farmers with the right tools to improve #soilhealth is critical in fighting desertification. At OCP, we champion multi-stakeholder collaboration, providing farmers with access not only to affordable plant nutrition solutions, but also to financial and insurance support, training, and market reach. We customize our fertilizers to the specific need of their soils and crops, thereby ensuring the optimal use of #nutrients both to maximize yields and to foster the long-term health of the soil.” 🟢 Innovation in Green Food and Water: The Middle East, China, and Emerging Markets In this panel hosted by World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we explored green transitions in #food and #water systems. Hanane’s keynote speech highlighted: “In the face of intensifying droughts, integrating water and energy plans is essential to build resilience. At OCP, we have adopted an integrated approach to secure green water supplies not only for our own facilities, but also to meet the needs of our local communities, by providing them with drinkable water, using #cleanenergy.” At OCP Group, we are dedicated to driving collaboration and #innovation for a #sustainablefuture. #COP16Riyadh #OurLandOurFuture
