Engineering company Worley will evaluate GEO’s proposal for a 25GW green hydrogen facility
The Green Energy Oman (GEO) project has contracted engineering services firm Worley to evaluate its proposal for a 25GW green hydrogen plant. The GEO consortium is comprised of Omani national energy company OQ, low-carbon fuel developer Intercontinental Energy and Kuwaiti state clean energy fund Enertech. Worley will evaluate the feasibility of the renewables supply, electrolyser function, and storage and transportation of green ammonia. The project aims to produce over 1.8mn t/yr of green hydrogen, which can produce 10mn t/yr of green ammonia, making it one of the largest propositions in the world. 25GW – Size of planned project “The GEO team, together with our technical specialists
