At the request of the World Bank Group, this study was launched having 3 main objectives: An analysis of the current characteristics of energy supply and demand, the assessment of the energy strategy of Morocco for the coming years, and then a development of an alternative energy scenario with low carbon energies. Beicip-Franlab has established a detailed energy balance of Morocco on the basis ofMoroccan and international studies already conducted on the energy sector of Morocco as well as on well known databases like IEA ones.For the period 2009-2030, Morocco has defined an energy strategy which was presented during the first Assises de l Energie organized in March 2009. An assessment of this strategy considering both energy and environmental criteria will be presented in order to be compared with the business as usual scenario.Finally an alternative scenario is proposed. Based on an intensive introduction ofrenewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE), this scenario would permit a great exploitation of the available RE potential in Morocco, and particularly its wind power potential. In November 2009 after the present report is finalized, Moroccan authorities presented a solar power plan which increases its renewable energy target in 2020, making solar energy target comparable to its wind energy target.A quick review of this new solar plan is presented at the end of this report.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENT COSTABATEMENT MEASURESAIRAIR POLLUTIONALTERNATIVE ENERGYATMOSPHEREAVAILABILITYBASESBIOMASSBIOMASS FIRINGBIOMASS POWERBIOMASS POWER PRODUCTIONBOILERBOILERSBUSINESS AS USUAL SCENARIOBUTANECALCULATIONCAPACITY FACTORCARBONCARBON ECONOMYCARBON ENERGIESCARBON ENERGYCARBON TAXCEMENTCEMENT PLANTSCEMENT PRODUCTIONCH4CLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN ENERGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGESCLOUDY DAYSCOCO2COALCOAL ASHESCOAL OILCOAL PLANTCOAL POWER PLANTSCOAL SUPPLYCOMBUSTIONCORROSIONCOST OF COALCOST OF ENERGYCRUDE OILCRUDE OIL PRICECYCLE POWERDIESELDIESEL ENGINESDIESEL FUELDIESEL OILDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDRY BIOMASSEFFICIENT CARSELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONELECTRIFICATIONEMISSIONEMISSION FACTOREMISSION INTENSITIESEMISSION INTENSITYEMISSION PER CAPITAEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION TARGETEMISSIONSEMISSIONS ABATEMENTEMISSIONS CONSTRAINTSEMISSIONS FROM FUELEMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTIONENERGY BALANCEENERGY BILLENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY OUTLOOKENERGY PRICEENERGY PRODUCERENERGY SCENARIOSENERGY SOURCESENERGY STRATEGYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY TRANSFORMATIONENERGY USAGEFLUORESCENT LAMPFORESTFORESTRYFOSSILFOSSIL ENERGYFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL USAGEFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUELGASGAS SUPPLYGAS TURBINEGASIFICATIONGASIFICATION OF BIOMASSGASIFIERGASOLINEGHGGLOBAL EMISSIONSGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESHEATHEAT PRODUCTIONHEAT VALUEHEAVY FUEL OILHEAVY INDUSTRYHFCSHOT WATERHUMIDITYHYDRO POWERHYDRO POWER PLANTSHYDROPOWERINCANDESCENT BULBSINDIRECT EMISSIONSINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYIPCCLNGLNG TERMINALLOW-CARBONMOUNTAINOUS COUNTRYN2ONATURAL GASNATURAL GAS PRICESNET EMISSIONSNET GREENHOUSE GASNET GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSNO2NOXNUCLEAR ENERGYNUCLEAR PLANTOFFSHORE WINDOILONSHORE WINDPARTICULATESPEAK DEMANDPEAK LOADPEAK POWERPETPETROLEUMPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPETROLEUM PRODUCTS CONSUMPTIONPFCSPHOSPHATESPIPELINEPOLLUTANT EMISSIONSPOWERPOWER CAPACITYPOWER CONSUMPTIONPOWER CURVEPOWER DEMANDPOWER EMISSIONSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION TECHNOLOGIESPOWER LINESPOWER PLANTPOWER PLANT TECHNOLOGYPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRICESPOWER PRODUCERSPOWER PRODUCTION CAPACITYPOWER REQUIREMENTPOWER SECTORPOWER SECTOR EMISSIONSPOWER SYSTEMPPPRICE OF COALPRICE OF GASPRICE OF OILPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONPRIMARY ENERGY DEMANDPRIMARY ENERGY SUPPLYPROPANERADIOACTIVE WASTERAINRAINFALLREFINERIESRENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE POWERSANDSF6SOLAR ENERGYSOLAR PANELSSOLAR POWERSOLAR RADIATIONSOLAR WATER HEATERSSOLAR WATER HEATINGSOURCE OF ENERGYSPACE HEATINGSTEAM CYCLESULPHURSUPPLY OF BIOMASSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTEMPERATURETHERMAL PLANTTHERMAL POWERTHERMAL POWER PLANTTHERMAL POWER PLANTSTOTAL EMISSIONSTOTAL ENERGYTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT SECTORURANIUMUSAGE OF BIOMASSUTILIZATION OF ENERGYVEHICLESVOLTAGEVOLUME OF BIOMASSWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER HEATINGWINDWIND CAPACITYWIND DIRECTIONWIND ENERGYWIND ENERGY POTENTIALWIND FARMWIND FARMSWIND GENERATIONWIND PENETRATIONWIND POTENTIALWIND POWERWIND POWER POTENTIALWIND POWER PRODUCTIONWIND SPEEDWIND TURBINEWIND TURBINESWORLD ENERGYWORLD ENERGY CONSUMPTIONWORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKWorld Bank10.1596/12923
