Ruwais LNG Project: A Clean Energy Milestone
The Ruwais LNG project is the first net-zero emissions LNG facility in the Middle East. It features two natural gas liquefaction trains. Combined production capacity is 9.6 mtpa. The project uses electric-driven motors. Clean energy powers these motors. This replaces gas turbines. It is the first MENA LNG export project to use clean power.
The project aligns with ADNOC’s goals. They aim to increase LNG production. It meets global decarbonization objectives. In June 2024, ADNOC approved the project’s final investment decision. They expanded ownership. Mitsui, Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies each acquired a 10% stake. ADNOC Gas retains majority interest. They oversee design, construction, and marketing.
The Ruwais LNG project will double ADNOC’s LNG production capacity. It meets growing international LNG demand. It supports the transition to lower-carbon energy.
