A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Petrofac and the Oman Hydrogen Centre (OHC) has been signed, outlining how the two parties will work together to develop Oman’s renewable energy sector’s capacity, particularly in the area of green hydrogen.

OHC is the first research facility of its kind in the Sultanate and is situated at the German University of Technology (GUtech). It aids the nation in speeding the switch to renewable energy. In line with Oman Vision 2040, the center serves as a global hub for research, technology, education, industry applications, and the economy.

In addition to numerous studies for small-scale industrial users around the world, Petrofac recently finished front-end engineering design (FEED) for large-scale green hydrogen production facilities. This company has a growing track record of supporting new energy projects across a wide range of technologies.

The Petrofac OHC partnership will have a significant positive impact on the effective implementation of green hydrogen projects and speed up the Sultanate’s transition to a more sustainable energy source. The relationship is set up to encourage the growth of Omani talent as well as to provide experience and help the hydrogen sector.
