Oman’s hydrogen plans are attracting foreign partners
Oman advances hydrogen expansion plans
Government’s hydrogen strategy envisages $34bn of foreign direct investment over two decades
Oman has moved with uncharacteristic speed over the past 18 months to join the international drive into hydrogen, securing foreign partners for a series of largely green hydrogen projects. Most of the developments are planned for the new port and economic zone at Duqm, on the east-central coast—a natural choice, given its geographical position for exports and concentration of downstream industries ripe for decarbonisation and government support. Projects have also been announced at Sohar, the historic port and industrial city in the north—where abatement needs coupled with bunkering and export opportunities are a selling point—and Salalah, a smaller industrial centre in the far south.
