Oman’s Vision, Strategy & Opportunity

Oman’s Vision 2040 & Net Zero 2050 ambitions have set a clear mandate for sustainable growth as it underscores our great nation’s commitment to energy transition, economic diversification, environmental sustainability and innovation in the built environment. Oman has committed to reducing emissions by 21% by 2030 (UNFCCC)

Economic & Environmental Imperatives

The civil sector's reliance on materials like cement and steel contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Innovations in material science and construction methodologies offer opportunities to mitigate these impacts while enhancing cost efficiency

The Global & Local Imperative

Buildings are responsible for approximately 37% of global carbon emissions. In Oman, where traditional methods still dominate, the opportunity to leapfrog toward greener, more cost-effective practices is immense

The Carbon Cost Nexus

Traditional cement production in Oman emits approximately 600 kg of CO₂ per ton (CEIC). In Oman HVAC systems account for 50% of total energy consumption (SQU). Retrofitting existing HVAC systems with smart controls, automation, renewable energy integration etc. can reduce energy use by up to 37% (SQU), significantly lowering both operational costs and carbon emissions over the building’s lifetime

Regulatory Tailwinds

New Oman Net Zero Centre policies (May 2025) focus on several key areas to achieve net zero emissions. Proactive decarbonization is now a competitive advantage

Technological Maturity

From revolutionary materials & methodologies, low carbon cement & concrete, advanced material science, AI driven building management systems and renewable energy integration, the pathways to a decarbonized built environment are becoming clearer and more accessible.

Decarbonizing civil infrastructure is not only about environmental stewardship, it is a strategic lever for reducing project costs, enhancing competitiveness & futureproofing investments.
