Oman has introduced a comprehensive net-zero roadmap and a new carbon market framework to accelerate its transition to green energy. The plan focuses on reducing national emissions while creating financial mechanisms to incentivize decarbonization across industry and energy sectors. This strategic move aims to diversify Oman's energy economy and align its industrial growth with global climate goals. By establishing a formal carbon market, the country intends to attract investment in renewables and low-carbon technologies.

Oman is finally putting a framework on paper for their carbon market. It is a start, but the actual impact depends on whether they set a price that actually forces industry to change.

Agreed. The roadmap is the intent, but the market design is where it lives or dies. I want to see if this is a voluntary credit system or a mandatory cap and trade model before calling it a win.

Net zero goals are great, but the grid needs to handle the influx of renewables first. Does this roadmap include specific transmission upgrades to support the green energy transition, or is it just high level policy?

Wondering how much of this framework targets industrial efficiency. If they just build new solar farms but keep inefficient old plants running, the carbon math does not work.
