 — MUSCAT: A key study led by Omani scientists underscores the potential for the Sultanate of Oman to capitalise on the abundance of high-quality silica sand for cost-competitive thermal energy storage - a prerequisite for the large-scale production of green hydrogen and green ammonia in the country.

Silica Sand is quartz that over time, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. Industrial sand is a term normally applied to high purity silica sand products with closely controlled sizing.

Industry best practice is to use #20 Silica Sand which is greater than 95% silica and guarantees an effective grain size of 0.45 to 0.55 millimetres, trapping particles with diameters between 20 and 80 microns (the human eye can see down to 50 or 60 microns).
