Green
Hydrogen Summit Oman to be Held on December 2025
Muscat,
23 Apr (ONA) — The fourth edition of the Green Hydrogen Summit Oman (GHSO
2025) will be held from 1-3 December 2025.
As
one of the most prominent regional events in the clean energy sector, the
summit will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals,
in strategic partnership with Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom)—the national entity
responsible for advancing the green hydrogen sector in the Sultanate of
Oman—and is organized by Birba Energy Services. The event will bring together a
wide range of participants from government bodies, private sector stakeholders,
and international renewable energy organizations.
Details
of the summit were announced at a press conference held in Muscat today with
participation from Dr. Firas Ali Al Abdwani, Director General of Renewable
Energy and Hydrogen at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and Eng. Abdulaziz
Al Shidhani, Managing Director of Hydrom. Both emphasized the importance of the
fourth edition in advancing national efforts to develop the green hydrogen
sector through international collaboration, attracting high-value investments,
and accelerating the development of a sustainable ecosystem for this promising
industry.
Dr.
Firas Ali Al Abdwani said that hosting the summit reflects Oman’s deep
commitment to carbon neutrality and the pivotal role that low-emission
hydrogen—especially green hydrogen—will undertake in achieving this vision. He
pointed out that Oman is well-positioned for success, with over 50,000 square
kilometers allocated for hydrogen development, comprehensive infrastructure
including ports, and a strategic location linking global markets. Organizing
this summit is part of the Sultanate of Oman’s broader commitment to advancing
the hydrogen agenda both locally and internationally. He also emphasized the
summit’s goal of transforming challenges into opportunities through
international collaboration and strategic partnerships, driving the
localization of hydrogen-related industries and opening up significant economic
prospects.
Al
Abdwani further stated that Oman is progressing with an ambitious roadmap to
build an integrated green hydrogen economy. This roadmap is anchored in five
main goals: contributing to global and domestic energy security, diversifying
the economy and expanding associated supply chains and industries, reducing
carbon emissions, building a competitive and cost-effective sector, and
fostering innovation and national capacity-building. He noted that eight green
hydrogen projects have already been awarded in Duqm and Dhofar.
For
his part, Eng. Abdulaziz Al Shidhani said, “The Green Hydrogen Summit Oman
is a vital platform to support the sector’s growth and foster international
dialogue on the future of energy. Hydrom’s strategic partnership this year
reflects our long-term commitment to ensuring that the summit serves as a
knowledge hub, an integrative force, and a direct contributor to the sector’s
national objectives.”He added: “We do not view the summit as a standalone event, but rather as
part of a broader system that enhances our readiness, expands our global
partnerships, and creates a supportive environment for investment and
innovation. This is central to Oman’s vision of leading not only in project
development but also in shaping the global green hydrogen narrative.”
The
summit is expected to attract over 3,000 participants from across the globe,
including decision-makers, developers, investors, and research
institutions—reflecting the growing global interest in hydrogen and reinforcing
Oman’s position as a regional hub for clean energy exports.
This
year’s summit will be held under the theme “Hydrogen Management: Closing Gaps,
Accelerating Action,” underscoring Oman’s shift from planning to
implementation. The theme highlights key priorities for the next phase,
including overcoming regulatory barriers, unlocking financing, addressing
offtake challenges, and enhancing infrastructure readiness—through practical
solutions and impactful partnerships.
The
summit’s agenda will focus on critical topics such as local manufacturing,
strategic component localization, local content development, capacity building,
and increasing in-country value. These discussions aim to support the creation
of a robust, inclusive hydrogen economy that delivers long-term social and
economic benefits for Oman.
GHSO
2025 enjoys broad support from governmental and sectoral institutions,
reaffirming the Sultanate of Oman’s commitment to its development goals and its
leadership position in the global clean energy landscape.
