Oman's OQ Gas Networks to Build Hydrogen Pipeline by 2030
Key Ideas
  • Oman's OQ Gas Networks plans to construct a dedicated hydrogen pipeline by 2030 to support the sultanate's renewables sector.
  • The project, expected to span 300-400 kilometers, will receive funding approval by 2027 and will initially focus on regional pipelines before expanding into a nationwide network.
  • The hydrogen pipeline aims to aid eight consortiums currently engaged in green hydrogen projects in Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates, with collaboration between OQ Gas Networks and Oman's state-run hydrogen company, Hydrom.
  • OQ Gas Networks is also strategizing a carbon dioxide transport network for carbon capture and storage projects, in addition to utilization in industries like fertilizers, desalination, and enhanced oil recovery, as part of their comprehensive energy strategy.
Oman's OQ Gas Networks (OQGN) is gearing up to develop a dedicated hydrogen pipeline by 2030, aligning with the country's renewable energy objectives. The 300-400-kilometer pipeline project is anticipated to secure funding approval by 2027, with plans for phased implementation starting from regional pipelines that will later grow into a national network. This initiative is set to bolster ongoing green hydrogen ventures led by eight consortiums in Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates, with technical contributions from Hydrom. OQGN is simultaneously exploring a carbon dioxide transport network to facilitate carbon capture and storage activities, along with utilization in various industrial sectors like fertilizers and desalination. Amid a surge in hydrogen-related projects in Oman, the company's push for sustainable energy solutions highlights a positive outlook for the adoption of green technologies and the expansion of the renewable energy market. The growing interest in green hydrogen is further evidenced by investments in projects like the HyDuqm green hydrogen initiative, signaling a shift towards cleaner energy sources in the region. With plans for a hydrogen pipeline and a parallel focus on carbon dioxide management, Oman is strategically positioning itself for a more sustainable and environmentally conscious energy future.
