Oman aims to be a major hydrogen production hub
Oman inks binding deals with six green hydrogen projects
The projects combined are expected to produce more than 700,000t/yr of hydrogen and require $20bn in investment
Omani hydrogen regulator Hydrom has signed binding term sheets with six green hydrogen projects. These include two projects by BP—one in Duqm and another in Dhofar—as well as the 1.8mn t/yr Green Energy Oman project, in which Shell took an operating stake earlier this year. Other projects that signed agreements include a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Duqm developed by India’s Acme; Hyport in Duqm developed by Belgium’s Deme and Omani state-owned OQ; and SalalaH2 in Salalah developed by a consortium of OQ, Japan’s Marubeni, industrial gases firm Linde, UAE engineering firm Dutco. Combined, the projects are expected to produce more than 700,000t/yr of green hydrogen to be used for both
