OCP Green Water has reached a new milestone in sustainable water management by commissioning a desalination project with an annual capacity of 60 million cubic meters (Mm³) of desalinated water for Casablanca South. This large-scale initiative was completed in record time through collaboration with OCP Manufacturing, JESA, national and international industrial partners, and public authorities, demonstrating OCP Group's commitment to addressing water stress in the Oum Rabii basin. After supplying Safi and El Jadida with desalinated water, OCP Green Water strengthens its efforts to secure water resources with a new desalination unit at the OCP site in Jorf Lasfar. Initially designed to produce 20 Mm³/year in October 2024, the capacity was quickly expanded to 60 Mm³/year by the end of December, now covering over a quarter of Casablanca's drinking water needs. The project consists of a desalination station, a pumping station, and a 54.5 km pipeline built by public authorities, linking the system to the Daourate dam station, which is critical for supplying water to Casablanca South. To optimize resource use and minimize environmental impact, the project incorporates a system for recycling seawater used in the desalination process. This collaboration with the Jorf Lasfar production unit allows for the reuse of water, improving overall water management at the site. OCP Green Water, a specialist in desalination and wastewater treatment, uses only clean energy to meet the industrial water needs of OCP sites and supply drinking water to cities like Safi, El Jadida, and now Casablanca. With an installed capacity of 185 Mm³ in 2024 across Jorf Lasfar and Safi, OCP Green Water aims to reach 280 Mm³ in 2025 and 560 Mm³ by 2027, while also treating 50 Mm³ of wastewater. The company's efforts will soon expand to other cities, including Khouribga, Youssoufia, Benguerir, and Marrakech.
