Global integrated energy group OQ and leading international contractor Deme Group have signed an agreement with Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) for the production of green hydrogen and ammonia at a key facility in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. Hydrom, the orchestrator and masterplanner of Oman's green hydrogen industry, is fully owned by Energy Development Oman and regulated by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. Deme said it was designed to produce wind power and solar energy with a combined renewable power capacity of around 1.3 GW in Phase 1 and potentially over 2.7 GW when Phase 2 is realised. The Phase One is set to see production of 330,000 tonnes of green ammonia, while in Phase Two it will be more than 650,000 tonnes. Detailed engineering for Hyport Duqm will now start and the subsequent construction of both the renewable power and downstream sites where the green hydrogen (electrolyser) and green ammonia plants will be located.
