Welcome to Oman Sustainability Week (OSW), a dynamic hub of sustainable innovation! From April 28th to May 1st, the esteemed Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre played host to this extraordinary event, bringing together industry pioneers and visionaries from diverse sectors including future energy, power, water, waste, mobility, and the environment. Participants seized the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and gain insights into cutting-edge technologies driving sustainability not only in Oman but also beyond its borders.
In a truly groundbreaking move, Dhofar Hydrom unveiled green hydrogen projects worth a staggering $11 billion in Dhofar. Congratulations are in order for the second winning project, developed in collaboration with Actis and Fortescue. This eco-friendly initiative not only meets local demand but also paves the way for international export via the Port of Salalah.
