Oman has launched its third green hydrogen auction round in Duqm as part of its strategy to become a leading global hub for green hydrogen production and export. The auction, orchestrated by Hydrom, aims to offer innovative and flexible opportunities for qualified developers to invest in Oman's fast-growing hydrogen ecosystem. The third round, building on past successes, offers a 300 square kilometer land block in Duqm, with proposals invited for projects covering a minimum of 100 square kilometers. Developers will have the flexibility to define their project footprint, enhancing competitiveness and aligning with market requirements. With an extended nine-month preparation period, developers can plan comprehensively, including the option to sell surplus renewable electricity to the national grid. Oman's competitive advantages, common-use infrastructure, stable regulations, and strategic location offer developers lucrative prospects. The country's energy transition efforts include a 2,000-kilometer hydrogen pipeline and the world's first liquid hydrogen export corridor to Europe. Previous rounds have already secured over USD 49 billion in investments targeting a combined green hydrogen production capacity of over 1 million tons per annum by 2030. The auction process begins with the release of the RFQ, with awards expected after proposals submission in early 2026. Developers interested in participating can find details on Hydrom's website.
