Oman's Green Hydrogen Expansion in Al Duqm: Unifying National Framework
Key Ideas
- Signing of agreements to integrate Phases 2 and 3 of a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Al Duqm into Oman's national hydrogen framework.
- Expansion to cover 80 square kilometers within the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, with expected production of 71,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually per phase.
- Oman's green hydrogen portfolio now includes nine large-scale projects across governorates with investments exceeding $50 billion, targeting an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030.
- The agreement strengthens Oman's position in the green hydrogen economy and aligns with the country's vision for sustainability and net-zero emissions by 2050.
On May 18, a significant step was taken in Oman's green hydrogen journey with the signing of agreements to integrate Phases 2 and 3 of a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Al Duqm into the national framework. The agreements involving Hydrom, OPAZ, and India-based ACME Group mark an important milestone. The expansion will cover 80 square kilometers within the Special Economic Zone at Duqm and is expected to produce significant amounts of green hydrogen and ammonia annually. This development builds on the existing Phase 1 project by ACME and aims to reach a total production capacity of 0.9 million tonnes of green ammonia per year once all phases are complete. The integration of ACME's project into Oman's national framework strengthens investor confidence and underscores the country's global position in the green hydrogen sector. With a growing portfolio of green hydrogen projects, Oman targets substantial investments and significant production capacity by 2030, powered by renewable energy sources. The agreement signifies a commitment to a cleaner and sustainable energy future for Oman, aligning with the country's long-term vision and global leadership goals. By focusing on green hydrogen investments in Duqm, Oman is poised to become a key player in the green energy sector and is actively working towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The ongoing developments in Oman's hydrogen strategy highlight a comprehensive approach from resource development to infrastructure and export, creating a stable and attractive ecosystem for investors and partners.
