Ecofie Hydrogen Tech
Project Overview
About
Invasive mesquite trees damage ecosystems across Oman, while industrial wastewater pollutes limited water supplies and conventional hydrogen production depends heavily on fossil fuels and freshwater. Ecofie Hydrogen Tech uses mesquite biomass and wastewater as inputs in a process combining waste-derived catalysts, sunlight-driven treatment and electrolysis. The system removes pollutants and heavy metals while producing high-purity hydrogen, with artificial intelligence optimising energy use and output. By transforming environmental problems into useful resources, it could conserve freshwater, reduce pollution and support more affordable clean hydrogen production in arid regions.

Almuntaser Almamari
I am a chemical engineering researcher specializing in climate technology, industrial decarbonization, and green hydrogen systems. My work focuses on evaluating industrial waste recovery and sustainable energy strategies, drawing from my experience at the Research Center for Environmental and Climate Solutions. My academic research earned top honors at the London International Youth Science Forum, consecutive first-place finishes at Dhofar University, and the Best Climate Tech Solution award at the Qatar Innovation Hackathon. Having presented at Oman Water Week and participated in over 30 global forums, I leverage expertise in XRD analysis and process optimization to drive sustainable industrial solutions.
