The Government of Oman and Hydrom have signed a joint study agreement with the Port of Amsterdam, Zenith Energy Terminals, and GasLog. This study will focus on the development of a liquid hydrogen supply chain that will deliver Omani green hydrogen to the Amsterdam port and the rest of Europe. This project is claimed to be the world’s first commercial-scale liquid hydrogen corridor.

The joint study agreement was signed during the COP28 summit in Dubai. Developing a green hydrogen corridor connecting the Netherlands and the Sultanate of Oman is the principal objective of the agreement.

In a press release, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals Oman stated that the agreement mainly focuses on conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the prerequisites for the establishment of a hydrogen liquefaction, storage, and export facility with open access in the Sultanate of Oman, in addition to the procurement of specialised vessels for the conveyance of the liquid hydrogen, which GasLog is currently developing.

Zenith Energy will develop the necessary terminal infrastructure to import the liquefied green hydrogen from Oman. Hydrom is responsible for executing the overall development of the Omani hydrogen projects.

The open-access liquefaction facility in Oman will give the country an opportunity to export liquefied green hydrogen to other global markets. The government of the Sultanate of Oman has implemented a hydrogen strategy that aims to leverage the nation's plentiful natural resources (including wind and solar power) and pre-existing port and industrial infrastructures in advance of its long-term objective of achieving Net-Zero by 2050 and Oman's Vision 2040, which is centred around economic diversification away from oil and gas.

An agreement was signed between Oman and the Netherlands during COP 27, which focused on bolstering cooperation and investment prospects within import and export facilities for clean, domestically produced hydrogen.
