Uniper has signed a corporation agreement to join HYPORT Duqm\u2019s project team, provide engineering services and negotiate an exclusive offtake agreement of green ammonia. The project\u2019s first phase will see the development of a 250-500MW green hydrogen facility in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, that will be connected to the Port of Duqm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cooperation agreement with Uniper marks a major milestone in the development of the HYPORT Duqm project,\u201d said Dr Salim Al Huthaili, CEO of OQ Alternative Energy, one of HYPORT Duqm\u2019s shareholders.<\/p>\n
HYPORT Duqm secured its 150km2 renewable generation site in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, Oman earlier this year. The project is planned to come into operation in 2026 and will respond to the global demand for green hydrogen and its derivatives. HYPORT Duqm Phase 1 will establish a complete power-to-product value chain at utility scale, combining first-of-a-kind technology integration with economies of scale, producing competitive green hydrogen and green ammonia.<\/p>\n
HYPORT Duqm will connect to Port of Duqm\u2019s new export terminal, storage infrastructure and liquid jetties and will use the port as its gateway to deliver competitive decarbonised molecules to users worldwide.<\/p>\n
Future expansions are foreseen in subsequent phases, whereby a further scaling up of the value chain will transform the Special Economic Zone into a Green Hydrogen hub in Oman and the wider region.<\/p>\n
