Key Ideas
  • Major industrial groups from Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany have signed an agreement for a liquid hydrogen import corridor linking key ports and logistics hubs in Europe.
  • Oman aims to become a leading player in the global green hydrogen economy, with plans to produce at least 1 million tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030.
  • The sultanate is poised to be the sixth-largest hydrogen exporter globally and the largest in the Middle East by 2030, as per a report by the IEA in 2023.
  • The partnership agreement includes infrastructure projects like export and import facilities in ports, as well as pipe and rail networks for hydrogen transport.
Major industrial groups from Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany have signed an agreement for the development of the world’s first liquid hydrogen import corridor. The corridor will connect the port of Duqm in Oman, the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and key logistics hubs in Germany, including the port of Duisburg. This initiative is aimed at enabling the import of green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, into Europe. Oman, in particular, is focused on supporting its decarbonization targets and aims to produce a minimum of 1 million tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030. The sultanate is projected to become a significant global hydrogen exporter, potentially ranking as the largest in the Middle East by 2030. The agreement signed by 11 parties also includes plans for various infrastructure projects along the corridor, such as export and import facilities, as well as pipe and rail networks for hydrogen transportation. Tata Steel Nederland, part of the Indian steel maker Tata Steel, has expressed its commitment to transitioning to a cleaner operation powered by natural gas or hydrogen. This partnership signifies a step towards a sustainable economy based on green hydrogen in the region.
