Under the Patronage of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals Green Hydrogen Summit Oman 2025 to Launch This December

Wednesday, April 23, 2025

The fourth edition of the Green Hydrogen Summit Oman (GHSO 2025) will be held from December 1–3, 2025. As one of the most prominent regional events in the clean energy sector, the summit will take place under the patronage 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, with participation from Dr. Firas bin 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 bin Ali Al-Abdwani highlighted that hosting the summit reflects Oman’s deep commitment to carbon neutrality and the pivotal role that low-emission hydrogen—especially green hydrogen—will play 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’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.

Dr. 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.

From his side, 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 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.
