Muscat: His Excellency Eng. Salim Nasser Al Aufi, the Minister of Energy and Minerals and the Chairman of Hydrom, emphasized the importance of uniting stakeholders under a single umbrella to better understand market needs and opportunities within the hydrogen sector.

The planned projects will require a diverse workforce, with estimates suggesting that 70,000 to 80,000 workers will be needed for construction and electricity roles, in addition to 30,000 to 40,000 support jobs in areas such as nutrition, health, and occupational safety.

“Oman is adopting an integrated strategy for green hydrogen, through which it seeks to build a comprehensive economic system that supports the development of this vital sector by investing in its natural resources and strategic location to establish long-term partnerships that will enhance the country’s role as a major contributor to the global energy transformation journey,” he said.
