    According to a report from EnergyWorld.


    When the project is at full capacity, it will include 25 GW of renewable solar and wind energy for hydrogen production.


    The so-called "green hydrogen" is produced by using renewable energy to generate electricity by splitting water into two parts.


    The statement stated that the project will help Oman transform the skills base and technical expertise in the renewable energy sector, and provide a large number of high-value jobs during the construction and operation of the site.


    Gulf oil-producing countries are trying to achieve economic diversification by creating new industries and income, including vigorously developing renewable energy.


    Abu Dhabi plans to produce and export hydrogen as fuel, and Saudi Arabia is developing a US$5 billion hydrogen project in the NEOM high-tech business district.

    Oil firm OQ to develop Oman green fuels project with consortium

    A consortium including Oman's state-owned oil firm OQ will develop a renewable energy project in the Gulf state capable of producing millions of tonnes of zero-carbon green hydrogen per year, the developers said on Tuesday.


      At full capacity the project will consist of 25 gigawatts of renewable solar and wind energy to produce the hydrogen.


      So-called green hydrogen, created by splitting water into its two components using electricity from renewable energy sources, is increasingly viewed as a fuel of the future to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels.


      "The project will help transform Oman's skills base and technical expertise in renewable energy, providing a significant number of high value jobs during site construction and operation," the statement said.


      Gulf oil-producing countries are trying to diversify their economies by creating new sectors and revenues, including through a big push in renewable energy.


      Abu Dhabi plans to produce and export hydrogen as fuel and Saudi Arabia is working on a $5 billion hydrogen project in the NEOM high-tech business zone.
