  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How many sterols are in Moroccan sesame seed oil?
  • The total sterol contents in sesame seed oil were 540 mg/100 g oil. This value is in agreement with the findings of Crews et al. (2006). Table 4. Sterol (%) composition of Moroccan sesame seed oils and from other geographical origin. Sabah El Khier et al. (2008). Ünal and Yalç?n (2008). 3.2.4. Tocopherols composition
  • How does the closure of the Samir refinery affect the economy?
  • Transport (1.5%), trade (1.1%), and other manufacturing (1.1%) are also significantly affected by the shutting down of the Moroccan Refinery Samir, with total loss of production reaching 3.7%, with impacts mainly in the R4-R8 regions ( Table 5 ).
