Hydrom Launches Green Hydrogen Incentives: How This Will Impact Your Business Opportunities in Oman
Hydrom Unveils New Incentives for Green Hydrogen Projects in Oman
Hydrom, the driving force behind Oman’s national green hydrogen strategy, has introduced new fiscal incentives aimed at boosting the commercial viability of projects in the ongoing third green hydrogen auction. These measures are a direct response to a market assessment conducted by Hydrom earlier this year and reflect the shifting global market conditions, reinforcing Oman’s reputation as one of the most structured and investment-ready hydrogen ecosystems worldwide.
Key incentives include a 90% reduction in land lease fees during the development stage, with potential for further reductions during the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase. Additionally, there will be significant cuts in base royalties during the initial production years, as well as corporate tax exemptions that can last up to ten years. These strategies are designed to enhance early-stage project economics, improve internal rates of return, and expedite the path to final investment decisions.
Eng. Abdulaziz al Shidhani, Managing Director of Hydrom, commented, “The global hydrogen landscape is entering a phase of consolidation, with developers focusing on regions that offer regulatory certainty, robust project economics, and credible offtake potential. The new incentives reflect Hydrom’s proactive response to evolving market dynamics, reaffirming Oman’s status as an investment-ready destination for large-scale hydrogen development.”
Oman’s third auction round, characterized by its flexibility, transparency, and scalability, is advancing with vigor. It offers a land block of up to 300 square kilometers in Duqm, inviting proposals for projects encompassing at least 100 square kilometers. Participants have the flexibility to define their project footprint within this block, allowing for configurations tailored to their specific development strategies and market needs.
So far, nearly 100 registrations have been received from major industry players and consortia across the green hydrogen value chain. This robust market response indicates a sustained interest in structured, policy-backed green hydrogen development opportunities. The third round is attracting serious first movers and institutional investors eager to expand their operations in a competitive environment.
The Statement of Qualification (SoQ) submission window is open until October 31, 2025, and Hydrom encourages all interested parties to register and submit their documents on the dedicated platform. To facilitate the formation of strong consortia in this round, Hydrom will also launch an updated consortium matchmaking list, an effective tool that has successfully connected qualified participants seeking strategic project partnerships.
