A new report shows Oman isn’t just talking about green steel, it’s building the foundation to lead globally. With cheap renewables, hydrogen ambitions, and an existing steel ecosystem, Oman is positioning itself to supply low-emission iron and steel to Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Key Facts
Oman’s existing integrated steelmaking base (iron ore → DRI → EAF) gives it a strong launch point for green steel.
The country aims to produce 1.0-1.5M tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, critical for decarbonising steel.
Strategic geography + access to EU & Asian markets gives Oman a competitive export edge.
New entrants like Meranti Green Steel, Mitsui, Kobe Steel, and ACME are accelerating green DRI facilities.
What it means for manufacturers
India:
Export opportunity: Low-carbon iron/steel from Oman could feed Indian EPC and large buyers looking for greener inputs.
Partner market: Equipment, automation, and services around green DRI and EAF plants.
GCC:
Regional demand: Gulf megaprojects want lower-emission supply chains; Oman’s green steel fits that bill.
Supplier ecosystem: Opportunities for alloy producers, fabrication partners, and logistics into EU + Asia.
The Bottom Line
Oman is emerging as a green steel gateway between raw materials and net-zero demand. For manufacturers focused on 2026 growth and export readiness, tracking Oman’s projects and partnerships is a strategic must.
