Oman creates hydrogen alliance

Oman’s ministry of energy and minerals (MEM) is establishing a national hydrogen alliance to chart the course for the country’s hydrogen economy. Branded Hy-Fly, the alliance will facilitate and sustain the development and deployment of clean hydrogen in Oman. Hy-Fly is made up of 13 key public and private organisations encompassing government bodies, oil and gas operators,

educational and research institutes as well as ports who will work together to support and facilitate the production, transport and utilisation of clean hydrogen for domestic

use and export.

In the run-up to achieving this, the alliance will promote clean hydrogen through investments, technologies, policies, and expertise across the whole hydrogen supply chain.

This will support national energy security and a transition

to the green economy.

The alliance will be led by MEM,

facilitated by PDO’s Energy Renewal unit, with participation

from the Authority for Public Services Regulation, Petroleum

Development Oman, Energy Development Oman, OQ, Oman LNG, BP Oman, Oman Shell and

Total Energies Oman, Sultan Qaboos University, GUTech and the ports of Sohar and Duqm. This alliance is a milestone in Oman’s drive to diversify its energy mix while addressing

climate change realities.
