Rapid Progress for Oman's Mega Polysilicon Project at Sohar Freezone
Key Ideas
  • Project cargo for the 100,000 tonnes per annum polysilicon production complex in Sohar Freezone is arriving rapidly, meeting ambitious timelines.
  • United Solar Polysilicon is developing the plant with support from Oman Investment Authority, aiming to start operations next year.
  • Chinese company Shuangliang International is supplying key equipment including hydrogen production systems for the project, making a significant international contribution.
  • The venture is expected to open opportunities for downstream investments in solar panels, integrated chips, and sensors for the global electronics industry.
Project cargo for the world-scale polysilicon production complex in Sohar Freezone, Oman, is arriving swiftly, emphasizing the ambitious timelines set for the significant venture. The 100,000 tonnes per annum capacity plant, being developed by United Solar Polysilicon (FZC) SPC at a cost of $1.6 billion, is supported by the Oman Investment Authority's Future Fund Oman (FFO) with a $156 million contribution. C Steinweg Oman successfully discharged oversized pieces of cargo at Sohar Port, destined for the project site. Chinese company Shuangliang International is supplying key project equipment, including hydrogen production systems, for this venture, marking a milestone as the first Chinese company to land an export order for hydrogen electrolyzers. The project is expected to commence operations next year, opening doors for downstream investments in solar panels, integrated chips, and sensors for the global electronics industry.
