Oman: 17 Km2 Earmarked for Green Hydrogen Zone

Fuel Cells Works | March 18, 2025

MUSCAT-- Key public sector stakeholders tasked with fostering the growth of a green hydrogen industry in Oman participated in a recent strategic workshop on the master-planning of a dedicated Green Hydrogen Zone in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) in the southeast of the country.

Spanning an area of 17 sq kilometres, the zone will cater to investors and developers operating in the green hydrogen space at the SEZ.

The zone will also strengthen SEZAD’s role in Oman’s clean energy strategy, as well as the achievement of the country’s Net-Zero targets, said Ahmed al Rajhi, Renewable Energy Projects Lead at SEZAD.

According to Al Rajhi, the strategic workshop was attended by representatives of Hydrom (the master-planner and orchestrator of Oman’s green hydrogen industry), as well as Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC), Nama Water Services and Nama Distribution — all National Champions with distinct roles to play in the rollout of common infrastructure necessary to sustain a planned pipeline of green hydrogen projects...more

1. Yep, the U.S. is giving away our golden chance to be a leader of the new energy market.

Let's hope every other nation doesn't end up treating us like the oil nations did (and still are).

2. If nothing else, this latest claim for the hydrogen scam obviates just how much land must be trashed to greenwash...

...fossil fuels.

"Green hydrogen" is a bait and switch marketing ploy that has nothing to offer to humanity other than more destruction.

One needs to be an especially gullible moron to expect that 130 kg of hydrogen per day fucking matters on a planet dumping about 37 billiontons of carbon dioxide per year into its primary waste dump, the planetary atmosphere, this on a planet where about 3% of that dumped carbon dioxide can be attributed to making hydrogen using dangerous fossil fuels.
