據《能源年》1月12日馬斯喀特報道，阿曼能源和礦產部長拉姆西周二宣布，阿曼已與殼牌公司簽署了有關液化天然氣出口和探索綠色氫氣生產的協議。

第一份協議是阿曼液化天然氣公司與殼牌國際貿易中東公司簽署的一份為期10年的條款清單，每年購買80萬噸液化天然氣。預計2025年開始交付。

該出口協議標志著殼牌公司與阿曼達成的第一份長期協議，被視為阿曼液化天然氣公司在2024年后與國際合作伙伴簽訂承購合同的里程碑。

此外，阿曼NOC OQ與殼牌簽署了一項協議，以尋求在阿曼開發綠色氫。

在此之前，殼牌剛剛收購了阿曼最大的氫開發項目綠色能源阿曼項目35%的股份。位于阿曼烏斯塔省和卓法爾省的計劃中的25吉瓦大型設施，每年將從太陽能和風能資產中產生逾180萬噸的氫氣。

此外，能源和礦產部已與殼牌公司簽署了一份意向書，以開發與液化合成氣（LSG）生產相關的綠色氫氣生產，液化合成氣是通過將氫氣和捕獲的二氧化碳相結合而產生的。

他表示，這項協議證明了對阿曼未來作為多元能源樞紐中心的信心，以及對可再生能源和綠色氫氣生產的興趣的快速發展。

阿曼在2022年10月制定了一個新的綠色氫生產目標，到2030年達到每年100萬至125萬噸。

Oman strikes LNG and green hydrogen deals with Shell

Oman has signed deals with Shell for the export of LNG and to explore the production of green hydrogen, Minister of Energy and Minerals H.E. Mohammad bin Hamad Al Rumhy announced on Tuesday.

The first agreement is a 10-year term sheet signed by Oman LNG with Shell International Trading Middle East for the offtake of 800,000 tonnes of LNG per year. Deliveries are set to begin in 2025.

The export deal marks Shell’s first long-term agreement with Oman and is seen as a milestone for Oman LNG in its aim to sign offtake contracts with international partners beyond 2024.

Additionally, an agreement was signed between Omani NOC OQ and Shell to pursue the development of green hydrogen in Oman.

The move immediately follows Shell acquiring a 35% stake in the Green Energy Oman project, Oman’s largest hydrogen development. The planned 25-GW mega-facility located in the Omani governorates of Al Wusta and Dhofar will create more than 1.8 million tonnes per year of hydrogen from solar and wind power assets.

Additionally, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals has signed a letter of intent with Shell to develop green hydrogen production linked to the production of liquified synthetic gas or LSG, which is created by combining hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide.

“This agreement is evidence of our confidence in the future of the Sultanate of Oman as a multiple energy source hub, as well as the rapid development of its interest in renewable energy and green hydrogen production,” said Al Rumhy.

Oman set a new green hydrogen production target in October 2022 for 1 million-1.25 million tonnes per year by 2030.
