Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has signed a long-term agreement with Malaysian energy giant Petronas to supply one million tons of low-emission liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually for 15 years. This strategic partnership solidifies ADNOC’s role as a leading provider of clean energy solutions.
Gas Supply from Ruwais LNG Project
The LNG will be sourced from the Ruwais LNG project, currently under development in Abu Dhabi’s Ruwais Industrial City. This state-of-the-art facility is set to commence commercial operations in 2028, doubling ADNOC’s LNG production capacity to 15 million tons annually. It will feature two liquefaction trains with a combined output of 9.6 million tons per year.
A Sustainable Energy Partnership
Shamsuri Ibrahim, Vice President of Petronas, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in meeting growing global demand for low-carbon energy while enhancing energy security. ADNOC reaffirmed its dedication to sustainability, highlighting the project’s innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI) to boost efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
A First in the Middle East
The Ruwais LNG project is the first in the Middle East to integrate advanced technologies specifically designed to reduce carbon emissions. This milestone aligns with ADNOC’s broader goals of supporting the global energy transition and addressing climate challenges.
A Major Step for Clean Energy
This agreement underscores the strategic alignment between ADNOC and Petronas in promoting sustainable energy practices. With cutting-edge technology and a firm commitment to reducing carbon footprints, the Ruwais LNG project sets a benchmark for the region’s energy future.
