The South Korean minister emphasised the importance of the countries to one another as Oman is the fourth largest liquified natural gas to South Korea or around 9.6% of Korea’s total LNG imports.

Meanwhile, South Korea is the largest importer of LNG of Oman, accounting for 44.2% of its total LNG exports.

The two countries also agreed abut the great potential of cooperation the the green hydrogen area which can leverage on Oman’s renewable energy resources.

Amongst the possible areas for cooperation are green hydrogen production, overseas hydrogen supply chain establishment, hydrogen cars and fuel cell, according to the ministry.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
