Oman's Hydrom, the state entity responsible for managing auctions for green hydrogen projects, is gearing up to launch its third round of auctions with a strategic shift towards mid-scale projects. This adjustment comes as Oman aims to attract a wider pool of international investors by providing more flexibility in project sizes. By moving away from the focus on large-scale projects that characterized previous rounds, the shift to mid-scale projects reflects a dynamic response to the evolving landscape of green hydrogen. The managing director of Hydrom, Abdulaziz al-Shidhani, highlighted that previous rounds saw the successful awarding of large-scale projects, typically requiring extensive land areas. However, the upcoming round is poised to offer opportunities for mid-scale projects, which are expected to be more appealing to potential investors. By engaging with investors from regions like China and North America, Oman is strategically positioning itself to harness international partnerships and drive the growth of green hydrogen initiatives. This proactive approach underscores Oman's commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the energy transition towards a more sustainable future.
