Japan’s Kanadevia Corporation (formerly known as Hitachi Zosen Corporation) has entered into a partnership agreement with the Bahwan Engineering Company, headquartered in Oman, to establish a framework for cooperation in the development of green hydrogen-related projects in the country.
The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation between the two companies across all stages of project development, from bid preparation to engineering, procurement, manufacturing and sales for low-carbon fuel projects such as green hydrogen and e-methane in Oman. Kanadevia’s core water electrolysis stack process, which forms the heart of its hydrogen production systems, will be combined with BEC’s local experience in construction and engineering, and its strong customer base.

In the hydrogen sector, Kanadevia is constructing a mass production facility in Tsuru City, Yamanashi prefecture, Japan, for water electrolysis stacks, a core component of water electrolysis systems, aiming to reduce costs and enhance supply capacity through large-scale manufacturing. In addition, as part of its efforts towards the realisation of a hydrogen-based society, Kanadevia has decided to invest in a hydrogen fund and is advancing a range of growth strategies in the hydrogen business.
In Oman, Kanadevia is also actively engaged in hydrogen-related methanation projects. The company has concluded a contract with Oman LNG to conduct technical verification and engineering work towards the development of one of the world’s largest commercial methanation plants, which is designed to convert captured CO₂ into e-methane (synthetic methane) using green hydrogen.
Through this partnership, Kanadevia says it will be responding to the policies and societal expectations of both countries, and expanding its business in decarbonisation fields including green hydrogen.
