Oman's first green ammonia project begins receiving key cargo
MUSCAT, JUNE 27 Project cargo has begun arriving at the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) for Oman's first green hydrogen and ammonia venture — a landmark initiative set to kickstart the Sultanate of Oman's gigawatt-scale green energy industry. Green Hydrogen and Chemicals Company SAOC (GHC), a wholly owned subsidiary of India-based renewable energy developer ACME Group, is developing the green ammonia plant with an initial capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum (tpa). The project, estimated at around $750 million, is designed for phased expansion to 1.1 million tpa. Last week, Khimji Ramdas Shipping announced the successful discharge and inland delivery of the first major consignment of project cargo from the Port of Duqm to the plant site. The shipment comprised 14 packages of oversized equipment, including a single unit weighing 120 metric tonnes. This shipment marks the first in a series of heavy cargo deliveries expected at Port of Duqm in the run-up to the plant's scheduled commissioning in Q1 2027. Forthcoming consignments will include solar PV modules, trackers and electrolysers — key components already under contract as part of the project's broader supply chain. Earlier this month, GameChange Solar, a global leader in solar tracking systems, announced a deal to supply its Genius Tracker technology for a 450 MWp solar installation that will generate renewable electricity for the project. The 1P single-row tracker system is engineered to withstand high winds and extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for Al Duqm's coastal environment. Leading Chinese manufacturer Sungrow Hydrogen revealed it had been contracted to supply multiple sets of 1000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolysis systems, along with flexible green hydrogen production solutions. Deliveries are expected to be completed by end-2025. Fellow Chinese company Shuangliang Hydrogen has also secured a contract to supply hydrogen production equipment for the same project, with delivery similarly due by year-end. In parallel, UAE-based DarkOcen Geostar recently completed the fieldwork phase of an offshore geotechnical investigation at SEZAD. The campaign included borehole drilling, Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and evaluations of pipeline corridors and marine anchor points to support the development of future marine infrastructure for the ammonia plant. The Duqm green ammonia project is one of nine large-scale green hydrogen initiatives planned for development across Oman's Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates over the next decade. These projects collectively represent investments exceeding $40 billion. The timely delivery and execution of the Duqm plant is seen as pivotal to unlocking Oman's broader hydrogen strategy. As part of a long-term offtake agreement signed last year, Norwegian fertiliser giant Yara will lift the full annual output from the first phase — 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia — reinforcing the project's strong commercial foundation.

GameChange to expand manufacturing capacity to 6GW in Saudi Arabia
GameChange Solar, a supplier of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking technology, has announced the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia to six gigawatts (GW) annually. The move will double its current capacity and is expected to be completed by September 2025. The facility will continue manufacturing GameChange Solar's advanced Genius Tracker systems for utility-scale projects. The enhanced capacity aligns with the country's ambitions under its Vision 2030 to become a prominent hub for renewable energy. The expansion will enable GameChange Solar to bolster its capability to supply tracker systems across projects within the country in compliance with local sourcing requirements. GameChange Solar's Genius Tracker system has been engineered for optimal performance in desert conditions. The system, now in its tenth year, offers durability alongside ease of installation and operational efficiency in challenging environments. Since 2015, more than 40GW have been deployed globally across 26 countries on six continents. GameChange Solar vice-president for China and South East Asia Jason Wang stated: 'Our decision to scale up reflects the demand we are experiencing in Saudi Arabia and our readiness to meet it. 'The facility is already operational, and this expansion gives us the capacity to move faster on the large-scale projects coming up in the region. We're building locally, staying close to our customers and preparing for what's next. This is a long-term commitment, not just to supply equipment, but to be part of Saudi Arabia's energy future.' The tracker is designed to adapt to uneven terrain and leverages advanced algorithms for optimal solar energy capture throughout the day. Its intelligent monitoring system facilitates convenient maintenance and is therefore suitable for large-scale solar installations.
