SalalaH2: renewable ammonia exports from Oman

Join us Wed 7 May

Within the SalalaH2 consortium, Marubeni, OQ Alternative Energy, Samsung C&T and Dutco are jointly developing a 1 million tons per year renewable ammonia project in Salalah on Oman’s southwestern coast. 5 GW of wind and solar capacity will power 2 GW of electrolysers.

Oman is an existing ammonia producer, with a combined annual capacity in excess of 1.6 million tons of ammonia from two plants, relying on natural gas as feedstock. But, Oman has some of the best complementary solar and wind potential globally. The country published its Green Hydrogen Strategy in 2022, with the aim to produce renewable hydrogen and ammonia for both local consumption and export. Government agency Hydrom (Hydrogen Oman) was set up to structure and accelerate the development of the renewable hydrogen sector in Oman. Various consortia are developing renewable ammonia projects in the Duqm region in the middle of Oman, and in the Salalah region.

To discuss the project, Siddiqa Al Lawati (Business Development Advisor, OQ Alternative Energy), and Rodolphe Kotliar (Global Head of Hydrogen & Derivatives, Dutco) will be joined in conversation by AEA Technology Manager Kevin Rouwenhorst. Join us on Wednesday 7 May @ 3PM CEST for a fascinating discussion, and be sure to submit your questions for our speakers in advance.
