Salalah Port gears up for new role as Oman’s hydrogen export hub ( www.omanobserver.om )

MUSCAT: Last week’s award of two new green hydrogen blocks in Dhofar Governorate, to a pair of international consortiums, has firmed up a leading role for the Port of Salalah as an important gateway for green molecule exports from the Sultanate of Oman.

The winning consortiums were: (a) EDF Group, J-POWER and Yamna, and (b) Actis and Fortescue. Both have committed to producing an aggregate of 378,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per annum by 2030, with part of the output targeted for export to international markets via the Port of Salalah.
