Oman is rapidly positioning itself at the forefront of the global green steel revolution, leveraging its vast renewable energy potential, hydrogen initiatives, and strategic location. With an integrated steelmaking supply chain, including pelletizing, direct reduction, and electric arc furnaces, the country is uniquely placed to shift toward low-carbon iron and steel production.
Major players such as Jindal Group and Vale are being joined by new entrants like Meranti Green Steel, Mitsui & Kobe Steel, and Jinnan Steel, with projects adding up to 12.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of direct reduced iron capacity. These developments aim to establish Oman as a key regional hub for green iron by 2026, aligning with its net zero 2050 and Vision 2040 goals to diversify beyond oil.

Oman plans to produce 1–1.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, supported by Hydrom, the national hydrogen orchestrator, and massive investments in solar and wind energy. With 13.5GW of solar and 13.2GW of wind projects in the pipeline, Oman can offer competitively priced, round-the-clock renewable power critical for hydrogen electrolysis and steel production.
