Hydrogen production using renewable power is becoming an essential pillar for future sustainable energy sector development worldwide. The Sultanate of Oman is presently integrating renewable power generations with a large share of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The possibility of using the solar potential of the Sultanate can increase energy security and contribute to the development […]

Germany and the EU plan to import hydrogen and its derivatives from the Arab Gulf states. Although Germany has signed a joint declaration of intent with the Sultanate of Oman to this end, its efforts focus primarily on Oman’s larger neighbours. However, it would be a mistake to overlook Oman’s potential role within German and […]

Hydrogen value chain from the producer of electricity & water, nitrogen, or carbon, down to the consumer. Source ILF.   A new report commissioned by Asyad Group – Oman’s integrated logistics group – envisions the potential for the nation’s three main seaports at Suhar, Duqm and Salalah to be developed into ‘Hydrogen Valleys’ with a […]

 The General Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones in Oman (OPAZ) recently announced the allocation of an area of ​​150 square kilometers, equivalent to about 21,000 football fields, in Duqm to generate solar energy for the production of green hydrogen. This comes on the heels of the announcement previously issued by Sohar Port […]

  Solar, tidal and wind energy resources can be the best alternatives to fossil fuel in future in the Sultanate of Oman, and experts called for an advanced Wind Energy Center in Duqm, according to a study conducted by the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). The study conducted by principal investigator Dr Mohamed Eldesoky Hereher, Assistant […]

Calls by Tanfeedh — the National Programme for Enhancing Economic Diversification — for the vigorous adoption of renewable and alternative energy sources bode well for the growth of a robust solar-based manufacturing sector in the Sultanate, according to the head of a key industry grouping in Oman. Haider al Zaabi, Country Manager — Oman Solar […]

A new study has demonstrated that both solar radiation and wind can be seen as promising and substantial alternative sources of fossil fuel resources in Oman, with almost 3.2 per cent and 4.4 per cent of the Omani territory being valid for the sustainable use of wind and solar radiation, respectively.   The research Exploring […]

 Oman is ranked third in the Middle East and North Africa in renewable energy transition, 15th among emerging economies, and 38th globally, according to the 2021 Climatescope assessment report published by Bloomberg. Climatescope is a market assessment and an index that evaluates the conditions for energy transition investment globally and the ability to attract capital […]

Abstract and Overview of the main output of the research Economic feasibility is one of the essential factors for choosing a project to launch. Hence, this study focused on assessing the economic viability of hydrogen generation using wind energy in the Sultanate of Oman. On this subject, wind energy potential for the selected sites was first investigated. Followed by Levelized Cost […]
