Oman Shell and Oman Airports partner in green hydrogen for mobility project

Muscat: During Oman Sustainability Week, Shell Development Oman LLC (Oman Shell) announced its sixth Gift to the Nation (GttN), a Green Hydrogen for Mobility project, on Tuesday. As part of the first phase of the project, Oman Shell has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Oman Airports that would see Oman Shell providing up to 15 Hydrogen Cars for the Oman Airports' corporate usage. The project will include development of hydrogen production units that will be powered by photovoltaic solar plants and installed at different fueling units related to the project. These stations will be selected strategically to maximise benefits to the project and allow members of the public to have visibility of the technology. As Omani regulatory bodies develop the required regulations to enable a strong hydrogen economy in the Sultanate, Oman Shell will work closely with them to provide hydrogen expertise and input. Commenting on this exciting opportunity, Walid Hadi, Oman Shell's VP and Country Chairman said: "Working with Oman Airports for the hydrogen for mobility project will help our efforts to support the Oman Vision 2040 energy objectives. It is also in line with Shell's Powering Progress Strategy and our target to become a net-zero-emission energy
