Oman’s Vision for Carbon Neutrality Unlocks Major Investment Opportunities in Transport

Oman, 24 March, 2025 : Oman’s commitment to decarbonising its transport sector is opening up significant investment opportunities in green energy and infrastructure. Key areas include investments in new green fuel stations, EV charging infrastructure, and an LNG bunkering project, according to a new report from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) and Oxford Business Group (OBG).

The Omani government’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 is driving investments in sectors such as maritime, transport, and logistics, which currently contribute 19% of the country’s emissions. Policies promoting electric vehicle charging, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and hydrogen fuelling stations are already in place, with further initiatives like dedicated hydrogen truck corridors and offshore power solutions for ships planned.

The report also highlights growing opportunities in logistics, including the expansion of green supply chains, last-mile delivery, and the development of regional aviation connections. Oman is enhancing its logistics infrastructure through blockchain technology and a port community system to streamline operations and improve efficiency, making it more attractive to foreign investment.

Additionally, Oman is focusing on transforming transport hubs, including creeks into marinas and business centers, and developing multipurpose ports and e-commerce fulfillment centers. These efforts complement the country’s push for innovation and modernization, positioning Oman as a key player in the region’s transportation and logistics sectors.
