Oman plans to build a new liquefied natural gas train that will raise the nation’s export capacity by a third, indicating a belief that demand for the fuel will persist even as the world transitions to cleaner energy.
The 3.8-million-ton-per-year project will be built near existing facilities in Qalhat and raise the sultanate’s total LNG export capacity to 15.2 million tons a year, the Oman News Agency said. The government is finalizing a design study for the project, which is scheduled to start operating in 2029.
