OCP Group Accelerates Construction of Its Green Industrial Platform in Jorf Lasfar

Here’s the translated article:

OCP Group is continuing its strategic transformation and is no longer limited to phosphate extraction. In Jorf Lasfar, it is developing a vast green industrial platform aimed at strengthening Morocco’s position in global value chains for fertilizers and chemicals.

Expansion of Fertilizer Production Capacity

The first phase of the TSP hub has been completed, with two production lines set to come online in 2025, each with a capacity of 500,000 tons per year. The second phase is currently underway and plans to add two new lines, each with a capacity of one million tons per year.

In line with this effort, a new phosphoric acid unit, with a capacity of 1,500 tons of P2O5 per day, was commissioned in March 2025, significantly enhancing the group’s industrial capabilities.

Deployment of Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Projects

The Jorf Lasfar site is also home to the development of the “Jorf Hydrogen Platform,” a strategic project aiming to produce 100,000 tons of green ammonia per year starting in late 2026. This project is supported by a financial investment of 30 million euros from the German PtX fund.

Additionally, the Tarfaya project plans to build a green ammonia plant with an initial capacity of one million tons per year starting in 2027, with a potential expansion to three million tons by 2032. The total investment is estimated at 70 billion dirhams.

Mobilization of International Financing

To support the ramp-up of its projects, OCP raised $1.75 billion in international financial markets in April 2025, underscoring the group’s attractiveness to global investors.

Towards a Decarbonized Phosphate Industry

Through these projects, Morocco is reaffirming its commitment to transform its phosphate industry into a lever for industrial and energy sovereignty. OCP is thus engaging in a transition towards more sustainable production, positioning the Kingdom as a major player in green chemistry on the global stage.
