EDF Group and its subsidiary EDF Renewables, alongside consortium partners J-Power and Yamna, have been awarded a land block by Hydrogen Oman SPC (Hydrom). Spanning over 341km², this land block located in the Dhofar Governorate will allow the development by the Consortium of a large-scale green ammonia project producing 1 million tonnes per year. The Consortium intends to install approximately 4.5 GW of wind and solar capacity coupled with battery storage to ensure a stable supply of renewable energy for the electrolyser, and an approximately 2.5 GW state-of-the-art electrolyser. The produced hydrogen would then be supplied to an ammonia plant to be built in the Salalah Free Zone. Once commercially operational, the Project will make the Sultanate of Oman a home to one of the world's largest green hydrogen and derivatives plants.
