Potential and Economic Analysis of Solar-to-Hydrogen Production in the Sultanate of Oman

Hydrogen production using renewable power is becoming an essential pillar for future sustainable energy sector development worldwide. The Sultanate of Oman presently integrating generations with a large share solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. possibility the potential can increase security and contribute to not only country but also international community. This study presents hydrogen resources available in Sultanate. About 15 locations throughout are considered assess opportunity PV system. A rank merit order producing identified. It reveals that Thumrait Marmul most suitable locations, whereas Sur least qualified. assesses economic feasibility production, which shows levelized cost (LCOH) site, Thumrait, 6.31 USD/kg. LCOH convenient location, Sur, 7.32 Finally, sensitivity analysis performed reveal significant influential factor affecting future’s green cost. findings indicate promising, consistent other studies
