Belgian engineer DEME is planning up to 500 MW of hydrogen production capacity at the port of Dumq, which is rich in solar and wind power resources. The engineer plans to ship hydrogen from the port to Europe.
Belgian engineer DEME Concessions NV is planning to start solar and wind-powered hydrogen production in the Arabian Sea port of Duqm, in Oman’s Al Wusta governorate.
The Belgian company is partnering with unnamed Omani partners to build an hydrogen plant expected to feature electrolyzer capacity of 250-500 MW. “Following this first phase, upscaling of the installation is foreseen,” the company added.
DEME said the site had been chosen because of strong solar and wind power potential and accessible onshore and offshore sites to host renewables generation assets. The engineer said the port location would enable the export of hydrogen to Europe, more specifically Antwerp, whose operator Port of Antwerp also has a stake in the Port of Duqm Company SAOC which runs the Omani facility - Link
