Entity

From the website:

Hydrom was launched in 2022 following His Majesty Haitham bin Tarik’s directive to structure and accelerate the development of the green hydrogen sector in Oman. We are the singular, central entity orchestrating Oman’s interest in green hydrogen, fully owned by Energy Development Oman.

Our main mandate is to master plan the sector while aiming to create a connected ecosystem of industries and hubs that aligns with Vision 2040 and provides a pathway to the Sultanate’s 2050 net-zero goals. To achieve this, we advise on policy and regulatory design, lead master planning, organize and oversee large-scale gH2 project auctions, and manage developer allocations in Oman's gH2 sector. We oversee and coordinate the execution of gH2 projects, facilitate the development of shared infrastructure for gH2 projects, coordinate the readiness of the logistics ecosystem for gH2 sector demands, explore and support potential offtakes and demand creation for gH2 through connected ecosystem industries, and maximize value creation for Oman in the gH2 sector.

With green hydrogen pegged to be a major facilitator for Oman’s diversified economy, we are also responsible for advancing the development of common infrastructure, connected adjacent-industries and hubs that are a part of the hydrogen value chain. This comes in the form of road and transport networks, storage facilities, manufacturing and processing services, as well as areas such as institutional and human capacity-building and education and research
