Oman Oil Marketing Company (OOMCO), the leading marketer and distributor of multi-sector fuel and lubricant products, and Oman Aluminum Rolling Company (OARC), a well-known producer of aluminum sheets in Sohar, have signed an agreement for the supply of green biofuel blends.

This agreement makes OOMCO the first fuel marketer providing biofuel in the Oman market and OARC becomes the first company in Oman to use such environmentally friendly and cost-effective B5 Biodiesel by OOMCO in a partnership that will contribute to a reduction of OARC’s carbon footprint.

The renewable fuel will be produced by Wakud International (Wakud) at their biodiesel plant in Barka’s Khazaen Economic City. Wakud is an Omani SME producing biofuels using recycled cooking oils used by Oman’s hospitality industry.
