Sungrow Hydrogen has signed a MoU with United Engineering Services (UES) to explore the establishment of an electrolyser manufacturing facility in Oman. The proposed plant will also manufacture and assemble gas separation and purification systems, along with the associated supporting infrastructure. The planned manufacturing capacity has not been disclosed. The systems produced at the facility will meet domestic demand in Oman as well as cater to export markets.
Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) is the national orchestrator for Oman’s green hydrogen strategy. It has allocated over 2,300 square kms of land for large-scale green hydrogen production. It is working to build an integrated ecosystem through strategic partnerships, local applications, and detailed market analyses. Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) and thyssenkrupp nucera have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the expanding green hydrogen sector in Oman. The key aspects of this collaboration and future deals include identifying the potential for localisation and exploring service hubs for water electrolysers opportunities.
In January 2025, Sungrow Hydrogen secured an order from ACME Group to deliver 5 MW alkaline electrolysers for the 320 MW first phase of its 3.5 GW green hydrogen and ammonia project in Oman. This first phase is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year, with additional expansion to 1.2 million per year. A 5.5 GW peak photovoltaic solar power plant will provide the green energy for all of these systems.
REGlobal’s Views: Oman is expected to have a significant number of large green hydrogen projects come up in the future owing to land and ample renewable energy resource availability as well as its proximity to ports and important sea routes. This planned electrolyser facility will cater to a vast emerging green hydrogen market and will help make the country self-reliant in terms of supply chains of key equipment.
