Signing CeremonyACWA Power, OQ, Oman?s leading integrated energy group, and Air Products has signed a joint development agreement (JDA) towards a multibillion-dollar investment in a world-scale green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility powered by renewable energy in Oman


Envisioned for Omans Salalah Free Zone, the joint venture project would be based on proven, world-class technology and include: the innovative integration of renewable power from solar, wind and storage; production of hydrogen by electrolysis; production of nitrogen by air separation; and production of green ammonia. 

It is anticipated that the green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility would be equally owned by the project partners. 

Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and CEO at Air Products, stated, ?We are delighted and honored to work with the government of Oman to develop this multibillion-dollar project, which would be similar to the world-scale green hydrogen project we are implementing with our partners in NEOM in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We look forward to applying our know-how, technology and more than 60 years of experience in hydrogen to help move this project forward and take another significant step in decarbonising the world.?

Commenting on this venture, Mulham Al Jarf, chairman at OQ, said, ?We are proud of our partnership with ACWA Power and Air Products. This project positions OQ as an energy transition enabler, while playing on our strengths and leveraging our expertise in the downstream chemicals business, particularly in Salalah where we have extensive operations, and our demonstrated ability to off-take products and competitively deliver them to global customers. The project fits well with the Sultanates? renewable energy strategy and fosters investments in alternative energy resources, both of which contribute to Oman Vision 2040.

Mohammad A Abunayyan, chairman at ACWA Power, commented, ?As a company that is driving the transition towards a greener future through utilising cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions, we are extremely proud to support the Government of Oman?s ambition to pursue decarbonisation and advance the development of green hydrogen, considered to be the fuel of the future. Our investment in developing and building water desalination and power production plants in Oman started in 2011, and we continue to expand our robust portfolio in the Sultanate. Utilising our global expertise, we were successfully able to launch Oman?s first utility-scale renewable energy project.?

?We aim to leverage our proven track record, knowledge and expertise in developing sustainable global scale green projects including NEOM ? a pioneering at-scale green hydrogen and ammonia facility, and we are confident of leading green hydrogen development globally through partnership and collaboration,? Abunayyan added.
