The Sultanate of Oman has initiated its third green hydrogen auction round, focusing on Duqm to enhance its position as a global green hydrogen production and export hub. Conducted by Hydrom, the auction aims to attract developers to contribute to Oman's rapidly growing hydrogen ecosystem and participate in establishing a competitive global green hydrogen economy. This third round builds on past successes, offering a 300 square kilometers land block in Duqm for projects, with flexibility for developers to design tailored configurations. The preparation time for bidders has been extended to nine months, allowing detailed project planning. In addition to producing green hydrogen, developers can explore selling surplus renewable electricity to the national grid, maximizing project value. The strategic advantages for developers include access to common-use infrastructure, a stable regulatory framework, and the geographical proximity to key markets in Europe and Asia. Oman is also focusing on a 2,000-kilometer hydrogen pipeline and establishing the world's first liquid hydrogen export corridor to Europe, further boosting its global position. The previous auction rounds in Duqm and Dhofar have attracted significant investments, securing over USD 49 billion for projects aiming to produce over 1 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. This success, combined with more than 30 GW of renewable energy capacity, positions Oman as a prominent player in the global green hydrogen landscape. The auction process will proceed with the RFQ release, inviting qualified bidders to submit proposals in early 2026, with awards to follow.
