Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) and thyssenkrupp nucera have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of the green hydrogen sector in Oman.
This partnership aims to identify localization potential and explore various development opportunities within the growing hydrogen market. The MoU was signed in the presence of Oman’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, HE Salim Nasser Al Aufi, during Hydrom’s inaugural gH2 Investor Day held in Muscat.
Hydrom serves as the national orchestrator for Oman’s green hydrogen strategy and has already awarded over 2,300 square kilometers of land for large-scale green hydrogen production. The company plays a critical role in fostering an integrated ecosystem by identifying local applications, building strategic partnerships, and supporting comprehensive market analyses. Additionally, Hydrom is driving initiatives to streamline regulatory frameworks, enhance infrastructure planning, and align workforce development with sector needs, ensuring a sustainable hydrogen economy that meets both domestic and global demand.
Oman’s strategic location between major green hydrogen demand centers in Europe and Asia, along with its robust infrastructure and logistics capabilities, positions it as one of the first-mover hydrogen markets globally. In alignment with Oman’s Vision 2040, the Sultanate aims to diversify its economy while prioritizing sustainability through renewable energy and green technologies. The country is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with green hydrogen playing a pivotal role in this transition.
