A significant leap forward in Oman’s clean energy goals! A consortium led by EDF Group, J-POWER, and Yamna has secured a land grant from Hydrom, Oman’s green hydrogen company, to develop a large-scale green ammonia project.
Key Points:
- Location: Dhofar Governorate, Oman (on a 341km² land block)
- Production Capacity: 1 million tonnes of green ammonia annually
- Renewable Energy Source: 4.5 GW of wind and solar power capacity with battery storage
- Hydrogen Production: 2.5 GW state-of-the-art electrolyser
- Project Duration: Exclusive rights for development, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance for 47 years
Benefits:
- Oman’s Green Ambitions: Supports the country’s goal of becoming a major green hydrogen producer (1 Mtpa by 2030).
- Clean Energy Solutions: Utilizes renewable energy sources for green hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis.
- Global Impact: Contributes to achieving global net-zero emissions targets.
- Company Alignment: Aligns with the clean energy strategies of all consortium members.
Moving Forward:
The consortium will now conduct detailed studies to further develop the project, solidifying Oman’s position as a leader in sustainable energy solutions.
