Landmark Green Hydrogen Project in Oman Gains Momentum with Consortium's Site Visit
Key Ideas
- International consortium in Oman prepares for the development of a large-scale green ammonia project with a planned capacity of 1 million tonnes per year.
- Advanced project development activities include detailed site studies, renewable energy measurement campaign, and feasibility assessments.
- 4.5 GW of wind and solar capacity, battery storage, and 2.5 GW of electrolyzer capacity will support the production of green hydrogen for an ammonia plant in Salalah Free Zone.
- Consortium aims to contribute to Oman's renewable hydrogen strategy and establish the Sultanate as a leader in green hydrogen production.
An international consortium, including Electricité de France SA, EDF Renewables, J-POWER, and YamnaCo Ltd, has secured a land block in Dhofar Governorate, Oman, for a large-scale green ammonia project. The consortium recently visited the site in Salalah to begin initial groundwork. Detailed studies, such as topographical surveys and renewable energy measurements, are crucial for assessing feasibility and optimizing project design. The project aims to produce 1 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by installing 4.5 GW of wind and solar capacity, along with 2.5 GW of electrolyzer capacity supported by battery storage. Green hydrogen will be utilized in an ammonia plant in Salalah Free Zone. The consortium's commitment to Oman's renewable hydrogen strategy aims to position the country as a leader in green hydrogen production.
