    Muscat: A new report by PVTech website said that Norwegian renewable company Scatec and Indian Solar developer ACME Group have signed a joint venture agreement to develop a large-scale green ammonia facility in Oman with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tonnes once fully developed.

    The reports also said , Oman has been setting itself up to become an important hub in green hydrogen and ammonia by attracting many companies to invest in the country.

    The report indicated that an international consortium unveiled in May 2021 a hydrogen complex, which includes up to 25GW solar and wind energy, to produce millions of tonnes of green fuels annually.

    The report added that the facility will be built in different phases, with the first one powered by 500MW of solar, featuring a capacity of 300MW of electrolyser capacity and expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year.

    Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec, said: “Oman has excellent solar resources and a strategic location for production of green ammonia. ACME Group has been in the forefront of green ammonia production with this project, and in Scatec we can capitablsie on our expertise in renewables, project structuring and financing, execution and operation to accelerate the decarbonization of the world.” the report added

    The project will be located in the Duqm special economic zone in Oman. Last year, ACME started construction of a green hydrogen project at the Port of Duqm, Oman in collaboration with the local government.

    Manoj Upadhyay, founder and chairman of ACME Group, said. “Given the strategic location of the project, technical insights and cost-effective solutions that ACME has developed for the project of this kind, along with internationally proven project development capabilities of Scatec, I believe jointly we will be a formidable player in accelerating adoption of this green fuel globally.”
