Considering a Subscription to Butane Gas: A Beneficial or Detrimental Choice? An In-Depth Examination of the Energy, Economic, And Ecological Implications in a Highly Critical Sector in Morocco

Abstract

The gas industry in Morocco poses a significant financial burden on the country. Finding a solution to this challenge is progressing slowly, given the absence of concrete alternatives capable of replacing a source present in almost all Moroccan households and agricultural farms. The transition from gas dependence could be gradual or abrupt, depending on the solutions implemented. However, considering Morocco's ecological aspirations and investments in renewable energy, electrifying this energy source emerges as the most plausible option. From an environmental standpoint, this transformation would undoubtedly contribute positively to the overarching objectives. Beyond assessing the ecological impact, this study aims to inform the interested public about the economic and social aspects, as well as the strategies employed to phase out this polluting energy source, ideally as quickly as possible.
