Marsa LNG in Oman pioneers solar-powered LNG project, aiming for low-carbon output and innovative renewable energy utilisation in the Middle East

In an unprecedented move in the Middle East, the Port of Sohar is set to become home to a pioneering LNG bunkering project, Marsa LNG, which will be entirely powered by solar energy. This venture marks the first of its kind in the region, showcasing a significant step towards integrating renewable energy sources with major industrial operations.

Marsa LNG, a collaborative effort between the French energy conglomerate TotalEnergies, holding an 80% stake, and Almuzn LNG LLC, a subsidiary of the Omani integrated energy group OQ with a 20% share, is poised to develop a 1 million tonne capacity LNG facility. The project is aimed at serving as a bunkering and export terminal, highlighting the strategic importance of Oman in the global energy market.
