Fueling the Future in Duqm

The Sultanate of Oman is aggressively positioning itself as the undisputed global leader in clean energy. During the COP31 climate conference in Antalya today, Omani officials signed two massive agreements to develop green hydrogen mega-projects in the Duqm Special Economic Zone. These highly lucrative deals target a staggering production capacity of 121,000 tons per year by 2032. The government also officially launched the fourth round of public tenders specifically designed to supply electricity to energy-hungry artificial intelligence data centers.

International Mega-Alliances

These are massive international plays. The first agreement was locked down with a powerful consortium comprising Oman’s PetroGas and Italy’s Bio3 Energy SRL, aiming to produce 625,000 tons of green ammonium nitrate annually. The second deal involves PLN Indonesia Renewable Energy and local Omani partners, targeting the massive export of 400,000 tons of green ammonia. These projects will heavily utilize gigawatts of solar and renewable energy, completely transforming the industrial landscape of Duqm.

Commercial Production by 2027

Engineer Abdulaziz bin Saeed Al-Shidhani, General Manager of Hydrom, confirmed that Oman expects to begin commercial production of green hydrogen as early as 2027. The regulatory frameworks are fully established, and construction on initial phases is already underway. These massive investments will aggressively support national economic diversification and guarantee Oman's dominant position in the future global energy markets.
