Catch-up: Oman awards two Duqm hydrogen projects targeting 121,000 tonnes annually
Two Duqm projects target around 121,000 tonnes of annual green hydrogen by 2032, with ammonium nitrate and ammonia downstream plans.
The story explained
Oman’s Foreign Ministry reported Hydrom’s third-round awards on 13 November. Two integrated projects in Duqm target combined green-hydrogen production of approximately 121,000 tonnes a year by 2032. The awards were announced during COP31 on 12 November; this article is a catch-up item.
One consortium comprises Oman’s Petrogas E&P and Italy’s Bio3Energy. The other includes PLN Indonesia Power Renewables, Alawi Enterprises and HBA Offshore International. Planned downstream products include green ammonium nitrate and green ammonia; the capacity figures are targets rather than operating output.
The report also describes a fourth auction round linking renewable power and hydrogen with data-centre electricity needs. Project allocation and investment opportunities do not establish electrolyser, valve or pump supply orders. Equipment suppliers and commissioning evidence are not provided.
Why it matters
Editorial assessment: downstream product choices clarify intended hydrogen demand; project allocation still precedes equipment procurement and operation.
