As clearly indicated in Table 3, the total reported solar energy consumptions in Oman as in 2017 is estimated to be at a maximum of 12 and 220 TJ, mostly from photovoltaic and heat sources, respectively . Other potential renewable energy resources, such as wind, geothermal, waves, and biogas, have been found to be abundant in Oman.
Wind energy has been another valuable renewable resource in Oman, especially in both the northern and southern parts of the country. However, this form of energy has not yet been adequately exploited .
A decision on the final mix of technologies would not need to be immediate. In the short term, Oman would focus on building out its renewables to reach 60% penetration around 2034. Over the next five years, technology costs will decline and market mechanisms (e.g., carbon pricing) will become clearer.
Considering the availability of Oman’s high solar radiation levels and its vast arid lands, it is crucial for the country, through both local and international partners, to invest in solar energy productions for sustainable economic development , .
To decarbonize the remaining 40% of fossil-based power supply, Oman could select technology options that balance economic and strategic implications. These could include further renewables penetration with long-duration energy storage, supported by a combination of low-utilization gas with CC(U)S and/ or nuclear.
The major biogas project is called the “Waste to Energy Power Project”. It is situated in South Al Batinah and has an electrical energy production capacity of 50 MW. This project was funded by Be’ah and Manzoon Dairy Company and will utilize cattle waste from various dairy farms across Oman to generate electricity.
