  • What is oil refining in Morocco?
  • Source: Interregional Input-Output Table for Morocco, 2013. The oil refining sector is based on the treatment of crude oil through processes to obtain finished products, such as gasoline, 50 ppm diesel, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, and intermediate products (naphtha, distillate) meeting Moroccan standards.
  • Does Morocco need a refining industry?
  • Morocco imports all its energy inputs, from which a significant share are the refined oil and gas products. Besides boosting economic growth because of its interindustry relations, the refining industry would be an alternative for the supply of energy inputs, improving energy security in the country.
  • Does Samir refinery closure affect the fuel oil market in Morocco?
  • The closing of Samir's Mohammedia refinery in August 2015 due to financial constraints has dramatically affected the fuel oil market in Morocco. In this paper, we assess the economic and environmental impacts of the disruption of Morocco's only refinery activities.
  • Why did Morocco start a refinery?
  • The refinery played a crucial role in meeting Morocco's domestic demand for petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. By producing these products locally, the country was less reliant on imported fuel, which helped to reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and increase energy security.
  • Why is Samir 1 a major oil refinery in Morocco?
  • Created in 1959, the Moroccan Refinery Samir 1 facilitated the production of diesel and encouraged domestic production. The refinery is located near the oil port of Mohammedia, in the most significant industrial fuel zone in Morocco. The establishment in this location was the result of social, economic, technical factors and restrictions.
  • What are the different types of energy transformation in Morocco?
  • One of the most important types of transformation for the energy system is the refining of crude oil into oil products, such as the fuels that power automobiles, ships and planes. No data for Morocco for 2022. Another important form of transformation is the generation of electricity.
