In Oman, Muscat Daily reported that Oman Shell inaugurated the sultanate’s first hydrogen refueling station near Muscat International Airport. The facility is also Oman’s first green hydrogen production facility, combining hydrogen refueling, electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging and conventional fuelling options in a single hub, according to the report. The solar powered station uses electrolysis technology to produce up to 130kg of green hydrogen daily. The project supports Oman Vision 2040 and its Net Zero 2050 goals by promoting low-carbon mobility solutions, it added. Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, said: “This initiative reflects our commitment to implementing His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik’s vision to position Oman as a key player in green hydrogen and a step towards achieving Net Zero by 2050.” He also highlighted the station’s potential in attracting investment and supporting future technologies.
