Consortium a 341 square kilometer land block located in the Governorate of Dhofar for the development of a large-scale green ammonia project with a capacity of 1 million mt/y.
The project will install
approximately 4.5 GW of wind and solar capacity coupled with battery storage
and an approximately 2.5 GW state-of-the-art electrolyser. The produced
hydrogen would then be supplied to an ammonia plant to be built in the Salalah
Free Zone.
“Oman
is strategically located between two key green hydrogen demand centers in
Europe and Asia,” said Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi, Omani Minister of Energy and
Minerals and Chairman of Hydrom. “This, in addition to our tier-1
infrastructure and logistics capabilities, have enabled us to leverage our
first-mover advantage in the global hydrogen industry.”
