Capgemini, an engineering consultancy, announced this week partnering with LIMSET, the Sustainable Energy Laboratory at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), to advance hydrogen storage technology.
The collaboration looks to create innovative hydrogen storage solutions, with a particular focus on the automotive sector. Both organizations view this effort as a critical step in reducing the industry’s reliance on fossil fuels and promoting clean energy alternatives, according to a statement cited in converging news reports.
Under the new partnership, Capgemini will leverage its expertise in hydrogen-powered mobility, while LIMSET contributes cutting-edge research in sustainable energy materials.
The duo aims to address one of the most significant challenges of the green energy transition: developing efficient, durable hydrogen storage systems.
“This project is more than just a technological innovation—it’s a step toward realizing our shared vision of an environmentally responsible energy industry,” said Mouna Benazzou, Managing Director of Capgemini Engineering for Morocco and Egypt.
Hydrogen fuel is widely regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to traditional fossil fuels, especially for transportation. However, storing hydrogen safely and efficiently remains a key hurdle before it is a viable mainstream energy source.
Faik Abdessamad, Director of LIMSET, noted the significance of the collaboration. “This initiative is about addressing tomorrow’s energy challenges by creating sustainable and efficient technologies for a variety of applications,” Abdessamad noted. “It stems from a shared vision of energy transition and sustainable development.”
The joint effort aims to accelerate the transition to clean energy, particularly in the automotive industry, which is increasingly looking to hydrogen as a potential solution to reduce its carbon footprint.
