    Oman’s Underground Hydrogen Storage Potential Attracts Global Interest

    In a recent development, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals took part in a technical workshop titled “Methods of Underground Energy Storage” on September 13, 2023. The event, described in a statement by the Specialized Energy Platform, explored Oman’s potential in underground hydrogen storage, leveraging its geological features like salt domes and porous rock formations.

    Hydrogen storage remains a critical challenge for global hydrogen adoption, with nations and corporations eager to expand the use of low-carbon fuels as part of climate change mitigation efforts. Oman’s underground storage capabilities offer a promising avenue for investments that could drive renewable energy utilization in hydrogen production while reducing carbon emissions. This positions Oman as a pivotal regional player in underground hydrogen storage.

    The workshop provided insights into modern technologies and projects related to underground energy storage in the European Union and North America. It also sheds light on the vast opportunities Oman presents in this sector.

    Oman’s prowess in underground hydrogen storage sets the stage for future global investments, further solidifying its role in this vital domain. This event precedes the Oman Green Hydrogen Summit scheduled for December, where the latest technologies and investment prospects in underground hydrogen storage will take center stage under the Ministry of Energy and Minerals’ patronage.

    Hydrogen storage is indispensable for the clean fuel economy, especially as hydrogen aims for widespread adoption. Existing hydrogen production methods remain costly, making them less competitive against fossil fuels. Therefore, the development of cost-effective and reliable storage systems is imperative to propel this sector forward.

    Recent research has highlighted oil and gas reservoirs as ideal solutions for underground hydrogen storage. Utilizing depleted oil and gas reservoirs to store future fuel could reduce storage costs to $1.29 per kilogram. This approach leverages cutting-edge technologies in geological storage, akin to methods used for natural gas and carbon dioxide storage.

    Oman’s green hydrogen production potential has captured the International Energy Agency’s attention and garnered praise from foreign experts. It’s poised to become a top contender for global hydrogen exports by 2030.

    Oman has set ambitious goals, aiming to produce at least one million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, with projections reaching 3.75 million tonnes by 2040. By 2050, Oman’s green hydrogen production is expected to double to 8.5 million tonnes, surpassing current European hydrogen demand.

    The International Energy Agency has high hopes for Oman, envisioning it as the sixth-largest global hydrogen exporter and the largest in the Middle East by 2030 if the hydrogen production roadmap stays on course. Achieving Oman’s one-million-tonne green hydrogen target by 2030 necessitates a colossal 50 TWh of electricity and an investment of $33 billion.

    To bolster this strategy, the Oman Hydrogen Company (HYDRO) inked two agreements in June for green hydrogen production projects in the Al Wusta Governorate. These projects, involving collaborations with Bosco-Engie and Hyport Duqm, carry investments of up to $10 billion. Oman now boasts five green hydrogen projects valued at over $30 billion, expected to produce 750,000 tons of clean fuel.
