Project for biogas and bio-CO2 production launched in Oman

Muscat: Oman Environmental Services Holding Company "be'ah" and OQ Trading have signed a cooperation agreement to develop a national project focused on producing biogas (biomethane) and bio-carbon dioxide through processing organic waste at landfills and future biofacilities managed by be'ah. This collaboration aims to transform environmental challenges into promising economic opportunities by utilizing approximately 20 million cubic metres of biogas extracted from these sites – comprising roughly 40% biomethane (renewable fuel) and 60% bio-CO₂ for sustainable industrial applications. The agreement establishes a roadmap for technical-economic feasibility studies, infrastructure assessment, and commercial marketing opportunities for project outputs, creating promising local investment opportunities aligned with Oman Vision 2040 goals. Both companies emphasised that this partnership represents an integrated model of national collaboration between energy and environmental sectors, combining be'ah's waste/resource management expertise with OQ Trading's global energy capabilities to reinforce Oman's position as a regional clean energy hub. Engineer Tariq Ali Al Amri, CEO of be'ah, stated that the project marks a new milestone in energy recovery from organic waste through sustainable methods, converting environmental challenges into developmental and economic opportunities. He noted biogas and bio-CO₂ production will reduce emissions, support Oman's net-zero goals, enhance waste management efficiency, and provide alternative energy sources. Said Talib Al Maawali, OQ Trading's Middle East Executive Director, described the project as an attractive opportunity to diversify Oman's energy mix in line with 2050 carbon neutrality targets and global trends toward sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions. He considered this initiative a strategic nucleus that will stimulate further waste-to-energy investments and enhance clean energy value chains.
