Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany have signed an agreement to establish the world’s first liquid green hydrogen import corridor, linking Oman’s Duqm port with Amsterdam and Duisburg. The project aims to supply Europe with renewable hydrogen, supporting clean energy goals.
Industrial players from Oman, the Netherlands, and Germany have signed an agreement to establish the world's first liquid green hydrogen import corridor. According to Tata Steel Nederland, the corridor will connect Oman’s port of Duqm with the port of Amsterdam and German logistics hubs like the port of Duisburg.
This initiative is designed to supply Europe with green hydrogen produced from renewable sources, supporting the continent's clean energy goals. Oman’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, Salim Nasser Al Aufi, highlighted the project as a reflection of Oman’s ambition to become a major player in the global green hydrogen sector while deepening energy ties with Europe.
Oman plans to produce at least one million tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030 and is projected to be the world’s sixth-largest hydrogen exporter—and the largest in the Middle East—by then, per a 2023 IEA report.
The agreement, signed by 11 parties during the Sultan of Oman’s visit to the Netherlands, includes infrastructure projects such as export and import facilities in Duqm, Amsterdam, and Duisburg, alongside pipeline and rail systems to transport hydrogen in both gas and liquid forms.
Tata Steel Nederland, a key participant, is exploring the transition of its IJmuiden plant to a cleaner model powered by hydrogen or natural gas. CEO Hans van den Berg noted the company’s role as a major potential hydrogen buyer and its commitment to fostering a green economy.
