Asyad Group has unveiled a series of forward-looking projects aimed at enhancing the readiness of Oman's national logistics infrastructure to support the green hydrogen economy.

The announcement came during the group's participation in the Oman Green Hydrogen Summit 2025, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and in partnership with Hydrom.

The projects include the development of an AI-driven digital platform that integrates operational data across the logistics network, enabling real-time decision-making to improve transport efficiency and reduce emissions. The group is also advancing digital simulation solutions for routing wind-turbine components, ensuring equipment safety and precise scheduling. In addition, smart warehouses equipped with IoT systems and predictive analytics are being established to optimise inventory management and minimise waste.

Asyad is expanding its clean-energy initiatives across Oman's ports, enhancing their capability to handle, store and export low-carbon fuels, including green ammonia, methanol and liquid hydrogen.

The group is also developing green-fuel bunkering corridors, positioning Oman among the first providers of advanced clean-fuel solutions. These initiatives form part of a broader transformation towards a smart, AI-enabled logistics ecosystem that supports the value chain of green hydrogen and clean energy.

Essam al Sheibany, Vice President of Sustainability at Asyad Group, said, "Green hydrogen is a strategic catalyst that redefines the logistics sector's contribution to Oman's economy. We are developing an integrated ecosystem capable of driving industrial growth, attracting global investment, and accelerating Oman's transition to a low-carbon economy."

He added, "Our collaboration with local and international partners paves the way for a new phase in which Oman advances confidently into the clean energy era - one led by national talent ready to spearhead this transformation."

During the summit's panel discussions, Asyad Group leaders shared strategic insights on the logistics sector's growing role in enabling the hydrogen economy.

Dr Abdullah al Abri, Vice President of Sustainability at Sohar Port and Freezone, highlighted the port's readiness and the integration of its industrial ecosystem to support hydrogen projects. He was joined by Reggy Vermeulen, CEO of Port of Duqm, who emphasised Duqm's significance as a future export hub for green molecules and a key corridor connecting Oman to global markets.

In a subsequent session, Aisha al Balushi, Product Development Analyst at Asyad Group, showcased the group's logistics infrastructure and its alignment of ports, free zones, and storage and shipping facilities to strengthen Oman's capacity to develop an integrated hydrogen ecosystem that supports the transition to a clean and sustainable energy economy.

Through its active participation at the Oman Green Hydrogen Summit 2025, Asyad reaffirms its pivotal role in advancing Oman's clean-energy ecosystem. Its integrated logistics platform transforms national ambition into an operational framework that supports trade, industry, and sustainability, positioning Oman on the global clean-energy map.
