The Ruwais LNG plant will be the first LNG project in the Middle East and North Africa region to run on clean power, making it one of the lowest carbon intensity LNG facilities in the world.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, Executive Vice President, Downstream Business Management at ADNOC, said, "As the first clean electricity powered LNG facility in the Middle East, the Ruwais LNG project reinforces ADNOC's leadership within the LNG industry and underscores our commitment to decarbonization, sustainability and innovation."
The Ruwais LNG project consists of two 4.8 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) natural gas liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 9.6 mtpa of LNG. When completed, it will more than double ADNOC's LNG production target capacity to meet increased global demand for natural gas.
The award of the contract underscores ADNOC's commitment to accelerate its net zero ambition and decarbonization plans. It is an important milestone as the company builds on its legacy as a responsible global energy pioneer and doubles down on its decarbonization efforts, backed by an initial allocation of $15 billion to low-carbon solutions.
