Green hydrogen enters transport and logistics sector in the Sultanate of Oman

OQ Alternative Energy and ASYAD signed a memorandum of key terms to study the use of the Duqm project’s green hydrogen production in transportation and logistics operations and to build operational expertise. September 5, 2026 | 10:56 AM The hydrogen journey in the Sultanate of Oman is entering a new phase, moving from building capabilities to actually employing them. It links green hydrogen production to real use in the logistics sector, and provides an opportunity to build practical expertise along the value chain. This came through the signing of an agreement between OQ Alternative Energy Company and ASYAD Group, memorandum of terms to develop the uses of green hydrogen in the transportation and logistics sector. The memorandum includes a study of Asyad Group’s benefit from the production of the green hydrogen project of the OQ Alternative Energy Company in Duqm, which opens the way for the employment of green hydrogen in transportation and logistics operations, and supports the gradual expansion of its use within the energy system in the Sultanate of Oman.

This cooperation reflects the integration of roles between the energy and logistics sectors, which enhances the local value of renewable resources in the Sultanate of Oman, and opens new horizons for operational and commercial solutions in emission-intensive activities. It also contributes to preparing the market to adopt these solutions on a larger scale, in light of the development of infrastructure and value chains associated with green hydrogen in the Sultanate of Oman. Salem bin Saeed Al Kamyani, CEO of OQ Alternative Energy Company, said that projects of this type are an essential foundation for building capabilities, developing infrastructure, and preparing the market for the growth of the hydrogen economy, noting that by working with strategic partners such as ASYAD, the company will be able to experiment with technologies and business models within actual operations, build local expertise, and determine the necessary requirements to expand the application of these solutions in the future.

He explained that the Sultanate of Oman has the resources and capabilities that qualify it to enhance its position in the production and export of renewable energy and green hydrogen, but the growth of this sector also requires developing local demand and opening the way for the use of hydrogen in various economic sectors. This would enhance the economic feasibility of projects, support the establishment of industries related to hydrogen, and contribute to maximizing the local value of the resources and capabilities that the Sultanate of Oman possesses. For his part, Ahmed bin Ali Al Balushi, CEO of ASYAD Dry Dock and Infrastructure Services Group, said that reducing emissions in the transport and logistics sector requires practical, scalable solutions, supported by a reliable energy system, and this cooperation provides an opportunity to study the use of green hydrogen and translate the emerging capabilities of the Sultanate of Oman in this field into practical applications across the value chain in the logistics and transport sectors.
