In a groundbreaking study led by Omani scientists, the spotlight is on the Sultanate’s vast potential to harness high-quality silica sand for cost-effective thermal energy storage.

This revelation holds the key to unlocking large-scale production of green hydrogen and green ammonia in Oman, paving the way for significant advancements in the country’s renewable energy landscape.

Oman boasts an abundance of high-quality silica sand, a resource that has long been overlooked but now emerges as a crucial element in the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions. Silica sand, when utilized for thermal energy storage, demonstrates the ability to revolutionize the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia, marking a paradigm shift towards cleaner and greener energy alternatives.

The primary goal of the study is to highlight the untapped potential of Omani silica sand as a viable and cost-competitive medium for thermal energy storage. By leveraging this abundant resource, Oman aims to position itself as a key player in the large-scale production of green hydrogen and green ammonia – two cornerstones of the global shift towards renewable and eco-friendly energy sources.

At the heart of this ambitious vision lies thermal energy storage technology. Silica sand proves to be an efficient and economically feasible material for storing thermal energy, a critical component in the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia. This technology holds the promise of not only reducing carbon emissions but also establishing Oman as a leader in the renewable energy sector.

The potential impact of harnessing Omani silica sand for energy storage is colossal. It opens avenues for large-scale production of green hydrogen and green ammonia, contributing significantly to Oman’s renewable energy portfolio. Moreover, it aligns with global efforts to transition towards sustainable practices, mitigating the environmental impact of traditional energy sources.
