Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals has signed an agreement with Oman Shell to explore opportunities for the production of Liquefied Synthetic Gas (LSG) in the Sultanate of Oman.
LSG is produced when green hydrogen is combined with captured carbon dioxide to produce natural gas which is then liquefied. This low-carbon gas can be directly introduced to existing gas networks and infrastructure, including the liquefied natural gas stations in Oman, all the way to the end users.
In another agreement, Shell Oman acquired a 3% stake in Green Energy Oman (GEO), the consortium that is developing the country’s largest renewable green hydrogen project in Oman. The hydrogen will be produced from up to 25 gigawatts of solar and wind energy.
Additionally, Shell Oman signed a term sheet with Oman LNG for the purchase of 0.8 million metric tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for a period of 10 years, starting from 2025.
