Shell has recently launched Oman's inaugural green hydrogen refuelling station near Muscat International Airport, introducing a key milestone in the country's hydrogen journey. This station has the capacity to produce up to 130kg of green hydrogen daily and will facilitate the operation of 15 hydrogen-powered taxis by the state-owned transport agency Mwasalat. In addition to hydrogen services, the station also provides EV fast-charging and traditional fueling options, catering to a diverse range of vehicles. The project was inaugurated amidst positive remarks from Shell's Oman Country Chair and the Omani Minister of Energy and Minerals, emphasizing the importance of renewables, hydrogen production, and investment attraction in driving future technologies. Oman's ambition in the green hydrogen sector is further demonstrated by its plans to allocate land for eight projects that could collectively generate 1.2 million tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030. The country's focus lies on utilizing hydrogen for domestic industrial purposes and exporting to global markets like Europe and Asia. Despite some past closures of hydrogen refuelling stations by Shell in other regions, the launch of Oman's first green hydrogen station signifies a significant step towards sustainable and innovative transportation solutions in the Sultanate.
