Oman LNG Signs MOU with Hitachi Zosen Corporation, Hitachi Zosen Inova AG

Oman LNG announced the signing of a crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hitachi Zosen Corporation (Hitz) and Hitachi Zosen Inova AG (HZI).

The MOU comes as a significant milestone reaffirming Oman LNG’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, seeking cutting-edge decarbonisation solutions through co-operating in the field of methanation.

Eng. Salim Nasser Al Awfi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, said that the memorandum comes within the zero-neutrality programme and the regulatory framework to reduce carbon emissions, especially in the natural gas liquefaction station.

The minister told Oman News Agency (ONA) that reducing emissions will give the station room for marketing at more preferential prices and for new markets looking for low-carbon liquefied gas.

Commenting on the agreement, Hamed Al Naamany, CEO of Oman LNG, stated: “The signing of this MoU marks the beginning of a transformative journey towards cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. Oman LNG, Hitz, and HZI share a fierce commitment to lead the charge in advancing the methanation objectives while shaping the future of decarbonisation through cutting-edge technology”.

Recognised as pioneers of methanation technology, Hitz, and HZI are poised to provide decarbonisation solutions to Oman LNG through exploring innovative avenues of synthetic methane production.
