British oil and gas major BP have partnered up with Oman to support renewable energy and green hydrogen development in the country by 2030.

BP and the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in Oman signed a strategic framework agreement (SFA) and a renewables data collection agreement. These are to support the multiple gigawatts of renewable energy and green hydrogen development.

As part of the agreement, BP will capture and evaluate solar and wind data from an 8,000-kilometre square location. The evaluation will then support Oman in approving the future development of renewable energy hubs at suitable locations within this area. Renewable energy resources could also supply renewable power for the development of green hydrogen.
