UK-Oman Partnership Targets Waste-to-Hydrogen Technology: What This Means for Investors and Entrepreneurs in Clean Energy Markets
MUSCAT, SEPTEMBER 23 — A UK-based startup renowned for its groundbreaking ‘plastic waste-to-hydrogen’ technology has announced a collaboration with an Omani company to facilitate the implementation of this innovative solution in Oman.
London-headquartered Hydrogen Utopia International (HUI) revealed that its partnership with Shahab Ahmed and Mohamed al Mir, who have established operations in Oman’s renewable energy, environmental solutions, and data services sectors, aims to assist international companies and industries in decarbonizing their activities through the adoption of this advanced technology.
Central to Hydrogen Utopia’s approach is plasma-enhanced gasification technology, developed and patented by InEnTec, a US-based firm. This technology can process nearly all types of waste, including hazardous and composite materials, converting them into clean hydrogen and other reusable outputs.
Hydrogen Utopia emphasizes that its plants, utilizing InEnTec’s technology, can convert non-recyclable mixed plastic waste and complex waste streams—such as used tires, PFAS-contaminated materials, and wind turbine blades—into carbon-free fuels, new materials, or distributed renewable heat. The company operates across the entire value chain, from generating energy for local communities using non-recyclable waste to supplying syngas, hydrogen, electricity, and heat to end users.
The ‘waste-to-hydrogen’ solutions will particularly focus on steel and cement producers in Oman, along with other industries. These solutions aim to reduce waste, provide low-carbon energy, and support large-scale on-site hydrogen production, thereby contributing to Oman’s broader sustainability goals.
Aleksandra Binkowska, CEO of Hydrogen Utopia, expressed enthusiasm about the Oman partnership, stating: “We’ve secured another strong partner in the GCC region, giving HUI a trusted local ally with deep government ties and hands-on experience in energy, waste, and industry. Oman is a great fit for InEnTec’s Plasma Enhanced Melter technology, especially in steel and cement, where there is strong demand for solutions that cut waste and emissions. This MoU marks a significant step forward in our global growth and environmental mission.”
