AMBER – Accelerate Morocco’s Biogas Sector: A Higher Education-Industry Partnership

In recent years, the expansion of renewable energies in Morocco has become increasingly important. However, the biogas sector has so far hardly spread in Morocco, despite the government's stated goal of establishing biogas as a promising and sustainable energy source. The project Accelerate Morocco's Biogas Sector: A Higher Education-Industry Partnership (AMBER) builds on these national goals and is dedicated to enhancing a thriving biogas sector in Morocco. The AMBER project has set itself the following goals:
  • Joint development of practice-relevant curricula/teaching modules in the subject area of biogas that correspond to the state of the art in science.
  • Technical and didactical qualification of the teaching staff at the partner universities in the field of biogas energy.
  • Creation of adequate structural conditions and services for the planned study programs.
  • Expansion of a local network between universities and industry in the field of biogas.
