MUSCAT, Oman, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Sultanate of Oman, represented by
Hydrom, the national orchestrator of its green hydrogen strategy, has awarded two
integrated green hydrogen projects in Duqm under its third auction round, with a
combined planned production capacity of approximately 121,000 tonnes of green hydrogen
annually by 2032. Announced during COP31, the agreements will expand Oman’s green
hydrogen portfolio, introducing green ammonium nitrate production alongside additional
green ammonia capacity, as the global hydrogen industry places greater emphasis 
on project economics and downstream markets. Building on the success of previous
auction rounds, Hydrom also launched its fourth auction round, introducing a new
investment opportunity linking renewable energy and green hydrogen production with
the growing power requirements of data centres.

Under the first agreement, Oman’s Petrogas E&P and Italy’s Bio3Energy Srl will introduce
green ammonium nitrate as a new downstream product in Oman, with applications in
the fertiliser and mining sectors. Targeting 625,000 tonnes annually by 2032, the
project will use approximately 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, produced
from 1.16 GW of renewable energy capacity on a 100-square-kilometre site. The agreement
includes a proposed reservation of another 100 square kilometres for future expansion.

Under the second agreement, Indonesia’s PLN Indonesia Power Renewables, Oman’s Alawi
Enterprises and Singapore’s HBA Offshore International PTE will develop an integrated
green hydrogen and ammonia project on 100 square kilometres. It targets 400,000 
tonnes of green ammonia annually for export by 2032, using approximately 1.45 GW
of solar generation capacity and 1 GW of electrolysis capacity.

Round 3 introduced a more flexible, investor-oriented framework informed by earlier
auction experience and feedback from developers to enhance competitiveness and bidder
participation. The auction allowed developers greater flexibility in defining their
project footprints within a land block of up to 300 square kilometres, with a minimum
project area of 100 square kilometres, alongside an extended nine-month bid preparation
period. In response to its market sounding exercise and evolving global market dynamics,
Hydrom also introduced targeted fiscal incentives, including a 90% reduction in 
land lease fees during development, potential further relief during the Front-End
Engineering Design (FEED) phase, reductions in base royalties during the initial
years of production and corporate tax exemptions of up to ten years. These measures
were designed to support early-stage project economics, enhance commercial viability
and facilitate progress towards final investment decisions.

In Round 4, Hydrom is introducing the Green-Powered Data Centre Hydrogen Auction
in Dhofar, offering investment opportunities across the energy and digital infrastructure
sectors. With data centres serving as anchor offtakers, the auction will link renewable
energy and green hydrogen production to their requirements for reliable electricity
supply, introducing a demand-led approach to project allocation that supports the
development of domestic hydrogen applications. Registration for expressions of interest
is now open until February 2027.

Bidders wishing to participate in Round 4 are encouraged to register via Hydrom’s
official auction platform. Full registration guidelines are available at [hydrom.om](https://hydrom.om/).
