GREEN HYDROGEN-
Oil field equipment supplier Seven Seas Petroleum will market Sungrow Hydrogen’s electrolysers in Oman, aiming to claim a slice of a market that policymakers hope will produce some 1 mn tons of green hydrogen each year, Oman Observer. China’s Sungrow produces inverters; EV chargers for fleets, residences, and public installations; PV systems; storage systems; and other components of renewable energy infrastructure for businesses, residences, and utilities.
Oman has high hopes for hydrogen: Oman is targeting the production of 1.38 mn tons of hydrogen annually by 2030. State-owned Hydrom signed an agreement last year with the Hyport Duqm Consortium — a JV between OQ Alternative Energy and DEME Concessions — for the construction of a green hydrogen production facility to produce some 1 mn tons of green ammonia. OQ Alternative Energy — the green unit of OQ — is also among the backers of the Green Energy Oman clean fuels hub which will aim for a production capacity of 1.8 mn tons of green hydrogen annually, supplemented by 25 GW of renewables..

WASTE MANAGEMENT-
ADQ + Ne’ma partner to reduce waste: Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ has partnered with the UAE’s food loss and waste initiative Ne’ma to develop joint projects aimed at reducing food waste across the value chain, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office. Ne’ma will also supply ADQ with data pinpointing food loss hotspots and systemic issues to facilitate problem-solving. The initiative aims to build collaboration with third parties and stakeholders to help boost their goal.
ADQ is active on waste and food production: ADQ is backing a USD 2.5 mn pilot project by UAE’s Tadweer and the UK’s Aquagrain to deploy Aquagrain’s soil enhancing tech which uses organic waste to grow crops in arid lands using 50% less water and inorganic fertilizers. It also launched a vertical farming project in collaboration with Italy’s Zero Farms in ADQ’s AgTech Park last year. The project’s pilot phase spans a surface area of 1k sqm and will yield 10 tons of produce per annum.
