The green hydrogen sector in the Middle East has achieved a significant milestone with the signing of a contract between ACME Group and Sungrow. This partnership is part of a 320 MW project aimed at producing green ammonia in Oman, with an initial phase scheduled for 2026.

The project is expected to produce an initial capacity of 300 tons per day, facilitated by electrolysis equipment to be delivered by Sungrow by the end of 2025. This collaboration highlights ACME Group’s ambition to invest in innovative energy projects in the Middle East and position Oman as a key player in the global energy transition.

A Project with Strong Political and Economic Dimensions

This green hydrogen project is not just a technological advancement. It also reflects Oman’s political commitment to diversifying its economy, which has long relied on hydrocarbons. Investing in hydrogen and green ammonia production technologies meets a dual objective: enhancing the country’s economic attractiveness and contributing to global decarbonization goals.

This project could serve as a lever to attract new foreign capital into Oman’s energy sector while helping to strengthen regional energy security. Hydrogen and its derivatives, such as ammonia, are increasingly seen as viable solutions to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, particularly in heavy industry and transportation sectors.

Implications for Energy Markets

The initiative led by ACME also illustrates an evolution in business strategies within the energy sector. Collaborating with experienced suppliers capable of delivering equipment that meets international standards is critical to accelerating the deployment of advanced technologies.

Thanks to its strategic geographic position, Oman could become a hub for the production and export of hydrogen and ammonia to European and Asian markets. This development is part of a growing regional competition where Gulf countries are striving to capture a larger share of the clean energy value chain.
