A programme on sustainability and renewable energy began in the Wilayat of Sohar, the Governorate of North Al Batinah, Oman.
The programme is
organised by the Youth Centre and SOHAR Port and Freezone.
The programme aims to
equip over 50 young Omanis, aged 25-34, with essential skills for the global
energy transition, reported Oman News Agency.
The target group
includes a diverse range of individuals including science and engineering
graduates, professionals, job seekers, and entrepreneurs in the clean energy
sector.
Running for a month,
the program bridges theoretical knowledge with practical applications through
interactive workshops, scenario-based learning, and real-world case studies.
The curriculum,
aligned with Oman’s Vision 2040 covers renewable energy fundamentals; green
hydrogen applications; energy storage and value chains; integration strategies;
efficiency measures; carbon markets; Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage
(CCUS); fuel cells; and sustainable mobility.
The program will equip
participants with the skills to analyse systems through technical,
environmental, and economic lenses.
They will enhance
their understanding of carbon management, cultivate innovation for scalable
clean energy solutions, and prepare for future careers in sustainability and
industrial fields.
“This programme is a
focused investment in building national capabilities for Oman’s energy
transition,” commented Said Al Balushi, Administration and Government Relations
Manager at SOHAR Port and Freezone. “By providing practical exposure to
renewable energy, hydrogen, and carbon management, we are strengthening the
talent base for economic diversification and sustainable industrial sectors in
