Nevertheless, the MENA region continues to show a strong commitment towards the development of hydrogen projects with a pipeline accounting for 117 projects at the end of 2024 (Figure 10), increasing from the 75 projects registered at the end of 2023.
Green hydrogen developments (Table 13) in Oman are being orchestrated by Hydrom, with an initial aim of meeting a production target of 1-1.25 Mtpa of green hydrogen by 203026. Through two rounds of auctions, Hydrom has awarded eight projects: five in the Duqm area and three in Salalah.
The MENA region has the potential to become a global powerhouse. The EU’s ambition of 10 Mt of hydrogen produced within the EU and 10 Mt from imports by 2030 seems out of reach today. A more realistic target for the European Union is between 4 and 7 Mt by 2030. Moreover, navigating the constantly changing framework creates additional challenges.
The Emission Trade System (ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the EU are already paving the way for clean hydrogen to become competitive, but similar developments are not yet in place in the MENA region. The same observation can be made for the absence of workable trade arrangements for green certificates.
