Abstract

Since energy and its sustainability are key global issues, extensive research is currently underway to advance the emerging energy sector. Hydrogen is anticipated to assume a substantial role as a worldwide energy carrier in forthcoming energy frameworks. Oman has set an ambitious target to annually produce one million tons of green hydrogen by 2040, aspiring to become one of the leading global producers and exporters of green hydrogen. These hydrogen scenarios are integral components of the broader global energy scenarios, primarily focused on achieving decarbonization. Green hydrogen serves as a pivotal element in Oman’s pursuit of de-carbonization, as well as its economic and energy security objectives. This paper aims to accentuate the challenges associated with hydrogen development, particularly in the context of green hydrogen production, by examining both present and future advancements. It provides a comprehensive overview of the consumption, applications, and economic considerations of green hydrogen based on expert organizations’ projections. Additionally, the paper addresses key considerations pertaining to the utilization and transportation of hydrogen as compared to electricity.
