ADNOC has made a significant announcement regarding its low-carbon liquefied natural gas project in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. The company revealed that it had issued a limited notice to proceed for early engineering, procurement, and construction activities to a joint venture. This joint venture, led by Technip Energies and comprising JGC Corporation and National Petroleum Construction Company PJSC, is tasked with advancing the project’s development.
The Ruwais LNG project, anticipated to reach its final investment decision later this year, is poised to mark a groundbreaking milestone in the Middle East and North Africa region. It is set to become the first LNG export facility in the region to operate on clean power, positioning it as one of the world’s lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, executive vice president of downstream business management at ADNOC, expressed the strategic significance of the Ruwais LNG project. Al Nuaimi highlighted its role in strengthening ADNOC’s position as a dependable global natural gas supplier, thereby enhancing global energy security. Additionally, she emphasized the project’s potential to bolster the economy of the Al Dhafra region by stimulating the local industrial ecosystem, attracting investments, and establishing an essential energy trade gateway in Al Ruwais Industrial City.
Upon completion, the Ruwais LNG project will feature two liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 4.8 million metric tons per annum, resulting in a combined capacity of 9.6 mmtpa. This expansion will more than double ADNOC’s current LNG production capacity, elevating it from 6 mmtpa to approximately 15 mmtpa.
ADNOC’s commitment to decarbonization, sustainability, and innovation is underscored by its investment in the low-carbon LNG project in Al Ruwais Industrial City. Recognizing natural gas as a crucial transition fuel, the project epitomizes ADNOC’s dedication to pioneering environmentally responsible practices within the energy sector.
