Green Hydrogen
Definition
Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water using electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. It is considered a zero-emission fuel because its production process does not release carbon dioxide.
Context
Oman has identified green hydrogen as a transformative opportunity for economic diversification and climate action. The country’s exceptional solar and wind resources make it a naturally competitive location for large-scale green hydrogen production.
Example
A green hydrogen facility in southern Oman uses solar panels and wind turbines to power electrolysers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is then converted to ammonia for export to Japan for use in power generation.
