MoU Signed for Green Hydrogen Equipment Project in Oman: Key Opportunities for Investors and Entrepreneurs
MUSCAT: Omani technology specialist United Engineering Services (UES) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China’s Sungrow Hydrogen Sci & Tech Co to establish a manufacturing facility in Oman dedicated to producing essential equipment for the nation’s green hydrogen sector.
UES, headquartered in Muscat and part of the diversified MB Holding Group, provides advanced engineering services to the oil and gas, marine, and defense industries domestically and internationally.
In a statement on August 4, 2025, UES CEO Dr. Salim al Harthy emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, saying, “This collaboration is a significant step in expanding our renewable energy footprint and positioning Oman as a regional hub for advanced hydrogen technologies.”
The new facility will focus on producing and assembling electrolysers, gas separation and purification systems, and related infrastructure to serve both local demand and regional export markets.
Xiaowei Duan, Head of the AMEA Region and Key Account Director at Sungrow Hydrogen, expressed pride in partnering with UES, stating, “We are honored to collaborate with a respected Omani industrial leader. Together, we aim to introduce cutting-edge hydrogen solutions to Oman.”
This agreement represents UES’s initial entry into Oman’s critical green hydrogen industry. Sungrow Hydrogen, its Chinese partner, is a prominent manufacturer of major components for the global green hydrogen and clean energy markets. The company produces alkaline (ALK) and PEM electrolysers, power systems, gas-liquid separators, intelligent hydrogen control units, and purification systems. Its Intelligent Manufacturing Centre in China operates the nation’s first automated assembly line for ALK electrolysers with a production capacity of 3 gigawatts annually.
Earlier in 2025, Sungrow Hydrogen secured a contract to supply water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment for Oman’s first green ammonia project being built in Duqm.
The project, led by Green Hydrogen and Chemicals Company SAOC (GHC)—a wholly owned subsidiary of India’s renewable energy developer ACME Group—involves a green ammonia plant with an initial capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum (tpa), planned to expand to 900,000 tpa across multiple phases within the Duqm Special Economic Zone.
Sungrow Hydrogen confirmed it was awarded the largest share of the contract to supply electrolyser equipment for ACME’s 320 MW-capacity green ammonia project in Oman.
The contract includes delivery of multiple alkaline-type hydrogen production units with capacities of 1,000 Nm³/h, along with flexible green hydrogen production solutions. Delivery is set for completion within 2025, according to Sungrow Hydrogen.
