據油氣新聞網10月24日報道， 阿曼成立了阿曼能源發展公司（Energy Development Oman SAOC，EDO）的全資子公司Hydrom，以實現其成為全球最大的綠色氫生產商之一的目標，目標是到2030年生產達100萬噸綠氫。

受能源和礦產部監管，Hydrom的任務包括劃定政府擁有的土地區域和構建相關的大型世界級綠色氫項目，管理分配給開發商的過程，以及與經濟特區和自由區公共管理局(Opaz)密切合作，促進共同基礎設施和相關的生態系統產業和樞紐中心的發展。

據阿曼通訊社（ONA）報道，11月6日，Hydrom將開始第一輪公開競標，目標是在2023年前授予首批地塊，以實現2030年的產量目標。

阿曼能源發展部首席執行官Mazin Al-Lamki表示，我們很高興地宣布EDO的全資自主型子公司Hydrom的新品牌標識。與雄心勃勃的政府計劃相配合，Hydrom將利用阿曼國的地理位置和豐富的太陽能和風能資源生產綠色氫氣，并支持政府減少碳足跡和實現脫碳目標的努力。

Hydrom代理董事總經理Firas Al Abduwani博士表示，我們Hydom期待與國際合作伙伴合作，共建能源的未來。我們今天宣布的這一輪投標是全球首輪，我們相信這將有助于加快阿曼和全球綠色氫工業的發展。

這些新的雄心勃勃的可持續發展倡議是在阿曼將參加的埃及COP27會議前幾周提出的。

能源和礦產部長薩利姆·納賽爾·奧菲（Salim Nasser Al Aufi）10月23日在馬斯喀特舉行的新聞發布會上宣布了阿曼國的新氣候承諾及其雄心勃勃的綠色氫戰略。

阿曼承諾到2050年實現凈零排放，這符合《巴黎協定》的目標，即與工業化前水平相比，將全球變暖限制在1.5攝氏度。為了引導阿曼向綠色經濟轉型，國王陛下指示建立阿曼可持續發展中心。該中心將是負責監督碳中和的后續計劃和方案的領導機構。

Al Aufi表示，阿曼致力于脫碳，并幫助世界實現脫碳。實現凈零的途徑是阿曼創造經濟價值、提高工業競爭力和吸引投資以幫助該國經濟多樣化和加強該國經濟的一個機會。

綠色氫是阿曼實現其脫碳、經濟和能源安全目標的關鍵載體。阿曼擁有豐富的可再生能源資源，并且該行業結構合理，因此阿曼被定位為最具競爭力和大規模生產綠色氫氣的國家之一。

Oman initiative to produce 1m T of green hydrogen

Oman has set up Hydrom, a fully owned subsidiary of Energy Development Oman SAOC (EDO) to meet its goal become one of the largest green hydrogen producers globally, targeting production of one million tons by 2030.

Regulated by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Hydrom’s mandate includes the delineation of Government-owned land areas and the structuring of associated large-scale world-class green hydrogen projects, managing the process for their allocation to developers as well as facilitating the development of common infrastructure and connected ecosystem industries and hubs in close collaboration with the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (Opaz).

On November 6, Hydrom will be opening a first public bid round aimed at awarding the first land blocks by 2023 to meet the 2030 production target, reported Oman News Agency (ONA).

Mazin Al Lamki Chief Executive Officer of Energy Development Oman said: “We are delighted to announce the new brand identity of Hydrom, a fully owned autonomous subsidiary of EDO. Working in tandem with the ambitious government plans, Hydrom will leverage the Sultanate of Oman’s location and abundant solar and wind resources to produce green hydrogen and support the government’s drive to reduce the carbon footprint and achieve decarbonization targets”.

Dr Firas Al Abduwani Acting Managing Director of Hydrom said: “We at Hydrom look forward to working with international partners to build the future of energy. The bid round we announced today is the first of its kind globally and we are convinced it will help accelerate the development of the green hydrogen industry in Oman and globally”.

These new ambitious sustainability initiatives come a few weeks before COP27 in Egypt, in which Oman is set to take part.

Salim Nasser Al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, unveiled the Sultanate of Oman’s new climate commitment and its ambitious green hydrogen strategy during a press conference in Muscat yesterday (October 23).

Oman has committed to reaching Net Zero Emissions in 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement’s objectives of limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. To lead its transition towards a green economy, His Majesty gave directions to set up Oman Sustainability Centre. The centre will be the leading body undertaking the supervising and follow-up plans and programmes of carbon neutrality.

Al Aufi said: “Oman is committed to decarbonize and help the world decarbonize. The pathway to net zero is an opportunity for Oman to create economic value, increase industrial competitiveness and attract investments to help diversify and strengthen the country’s economy.

Green hydrogen presents itself as a key vector that enables Oman to pursue its decarbonisation, economic and energy security objectives. With the abundant renewable energy resources Oman is blessed with and with the appropriate structuring of the sector, Oman is positioned as one of the most attractive nations to produce green hydrogen competitively and at large-scale.”
