BP partners with Oman on renewables and hydrogen

Oil major plans to undertake wind and solar data assessment for multi-gigawatt energy hubs

BP has signed an agreement with Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals to kickstart the development of multi-gigawatt wind, solar and green hydrogen projects by 2030.
