The Omani government has pledged to reach net zero emmissions by 2050. The country is preparing a national plan to reach that goal, and establishing the Oman Sustainability Centre to supervise and follow up on carbon neutrality plans and programme.
Oman submitted its second NDC in July 2021, setting an unconditional GHG emission reduction target of 4% and a conditional reduction target up to 7% of the BAU scenario by 2030. Under its BAU scenario, the government estimates GHG emissions at around 125 MtCO2eq by 2030; the 7% cut would limit GHG emissions to 116 MtCO2eq (up from 2% in its first NDC in 2019).
After a rapid increase between 2009 and 2018 (around 7%/year), the progression of CO2 emissions from energy uses has stopped. CO2 emissions per capita are amongst the 15 highest in the world, with around 13 tCO2/cap (2020).
