|June 06, 2026
THE Board of Investment (BOI) has extended the deadline for investors to respond to its Request for Information (RFI) on green hydrogen and ammonia development projects, signalling continued efforts to position the country as a potential participant in the emerging global market for low-carbon fuels.
-
The BOI, in collaboration with the Energy Ministry, announced that qualified investors, developers, operators and consortiums will now have until 19 June, extended from the earlier 5 June deadline, to submit proposals under what authorities described as the final extension of the non-binding investor outreach process.
The initiative offers insight into how the Government is assessing commercial interest in a sector expected to attract significant global investment over the coming decades as countries seek alternatives to fossil fuels and decarbonise heavy industry, shipping and fertiliser production.
