Oman’s Hydrom signs three deals for green hydrogen production
In the United Arab Emirates, Zawya reported that Hydrogen Oman SPC (Hydrom), an Energy Development Oman SAOC subsidiary, has signed three agreements to grant the first green hydrogen blocks with investments of over $20 billion,.
The report stated that the agreements are forecast to yield a total production capacity of 500,000 tons of green hydrogen per annum from more than 12 gigawatts of installed renewable energy capacity at the three sites, each covering an area of 320 square kilometers in the Al Wusta governorate.
The first of two blocks, launched through a public auction last year, was awarded to a consortium of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Blue Power Partners and Al Khadra, a subsidiary of Hind Bahwan Group. The consortium will generate around 200 KTPA (Kilo Tons Per Annum) of green hydrogen from 4.5 GW of installed renewable energy capacity for planned green steel plants located in the Port of Duqm in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD).
The second project was signed with BP Oman for the development of green hydrogen for ammonia production and export, while the third initiative was signed with the consortium of Green Energy Oman (GEO) for the development of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
