Fluxys and OQ Gas Networks SAOG (OQGN) have signed an agreement to jointly develop a hydrogen transportation network in Oman. Fluxys will participate as a minority shareholder, while OQGN will lead the project.
The planned hydrogen infrastructure aligns with Oman’s Vision 2040 and national hydrogen targets. Both companies aim to accelerate the country’s energy transition by enabling large-scale hydrogen transport.
Fluxys, a Belgium-based energy infrastructure company, operates 28,000 km of pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals with an annual regasification capacity of 485 TWh. OQGN is Oman’s state-backed gas transmission operator and part of the OQ group.
In a separate initiative, United Solar Polysilicon has partnered with OQ Alternative Energy to jointly develop a 700 MW photovoltaic (PV) project. The solar power plant will contribute to Oman’s renewable energy goals.
