Oman hands out first two hydrogen project awards

Oman has handed out its first two projects under its hydrogen bid round, to consortia involving DEME and Engie.

Hydrom is overseeing the process. It awarded two areas in Duqm this week, in the first round. In the second round, it will hand over another three blocks in the Dhofar area, aiming to achieve this by the second quarter of 2024.

Oman has a target of reaching 1 million tonnes per year of green hydrogen production by 2030.
