Innovation, Artificial Intelligence, and Solar Energy: “Diamant Frigo” ushers in a new era of refrigeration in Morocco
A Strategic Turning Point for the National Agri-Food Value Chain
On November 19, the province of Berrechid will witness a significant milestone with the official inauguration of "Diamant Frigo," an eco-responsible and ultra-connected refrigeration infrastructure.
Presided over by the Governor of Berrechid province and attended by representatives from the Moroccan Refrigeration Association and local economic stakeholders, the ceremony will mark the emergence of a new regional center of excellence.
In alignment with the Enlightened Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, this major territorial project aims to address crucial challenges related to food security, ecological transition, and economic development in the regions. Combining technological innovation with sustainability, "Diamant Frigo" will position Berrechid as a center of excellence for the cold chain in Morocco.
A Technological and Environmental Showcase for the Province
Designed according to the highest international standards, the "Diamant Frigo" complex is set to become a model infrastructure based on four key pillars of innovation:
A National Ecological First: For the first time in an installation of this scale in Morocco, a new generation refrigerant gas that is ozone-friendly and has minimal impact on global warming will be used, marking a significant ecological breakthrough for the industry.
Energy Sovereignty through Solar Power: The platform will feature a rooftop photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 350 kWh. The electricity produced will be directly reinjected into the ONEE network, facilitating concrete decarbonization and optimal control of energy costs.
Exemplary Circular Water Management: In a commitment to resource preservation, all condensation water from the cooling systems will be collected and reused. This water will supply fire safety reserves and maintain outdoor spaces.
- Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Control: All installations will be monitored in real-time by AI algorithms, ensuring ultra-precise temperature control, optimal goods traceability, and intelligent energy management.
Local Economic Impact and Expansion Prospects
With an installed capacity of 14,400 m³ spread across 10 operational refrigeration storage rooms, the platform aims to quickly strengthen its role as a regional economic lever. A major expansion plan is set to be implemented next year, adding new units dedicated to storage at negative temperatures (freezing).
