The government of Oman has announced plans to begin construction on what will be the largest green hydrogen plant in the world.
Leveraging energy industry experience and the perfect conditions for creating hydrogen with renewable energy, Oman is taking proactive steps to diversify its economy away from heavy reliance on oil and gas.
The Arabian Peninsula sultanate intends to start building the plant in the Al Wusta governorate on the Arabian Sea in 2028. The project will develop in stages and full capacity is expected to be reached by 2038.
At this point, 25 gigawatts of wind and solar energy will be used to produce more green hydrogen than any other facility in the world.
The plant is expected to cost €30 bn, and funding has come from Oman’s state energy company, QC, Chinese renewable hydrogen developer, InterContinental Energy, and a Kuwait-based energy investor, Enertech.
The Oman green hydrogen plant will use renewable energy to split water in an electrolyzer, producing hydrogen. The plant’s total reliance on renewable energy will result in actual environmental benefits and a reliably green hydrogen fuel product - link
