ADNOC and Occidental right now introduced an settlement to conduct a joint preliminary engineering research for the development of the primary megaton-scale DAC (Direct Air Seize) facility outdoors the USA (US).
The settlement is the primary undertaking to succeed in the technical feasibility stage because the two corporations signed a strategic partnership settlement in 2023 to discover carbon seize, utilization and storage (CCUS) tasks within the UAE and the US.
The research will assess the proposed a million tonnes every year (mtpa) DAC facility to be related to ADNOC’s carbon dioxide (CO2) infrastructure for injection and everlasting storage in saline reservoirs not used for oil and gasoline manufacturing. ADNOC is within the testing part of the world’s first absolutely saved CO2 injection properly in a saltwater aquifer in Abu Dhabi.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, Govt Director for Low Carbon Options and Worldwide Progress at ADNOC, stated: “Right this moment’s announcement represents continued constructive momentum in our partnership with Occidental to considerably scale promising carbon administration applied sciences. This joint funding within the area’s proposed first megaton direct air seize facility is an instance of ADNOC’s dedication to leveraging partnerships and promising know-how to speed up our decarbonization journey in the direction of internet zero emissions by 2045.”
In August, ADNOC and Occidental signed a Strategic Cooperation Settlement (SCA) to guage potential funding alternatives in carbon seize and storage hubs within the UAE and the US and to combine local weather applied sciences into power tasks comparable to zero-emission power and sustainable fuels.
Vicki Hollub, President and CEO of Occidental, stated: “The velocity with which the Oxy and ADNOC groups developed the feasibility and Pre-FEED plan for a DAC plant in Abu Dhabi underlines the urgency wanted to ship local weather options on a world scale and greenhouse gasoline emissions. We’ll proceed to leverage our experience in carbon administration to ship worth and speed up our capability to succeed in our internet zero targets and assist others obtain theirs.”
Just lately, as a part of its carbon administration technique, ADNOC introduced a closing funding resolution to proceed with one of many largest carbon seize tasks within the Center East and North Africa (MENA) area in Habshan, with the capability to seize as much as 1.5 million tonnes to seize. per yr (mtpa) for everlasting storage in Abu Dhabi’s onshore reservoirs. This technique aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (IPCC) view that carbon seize and storage is vital for the world to succeed in net-zero emissions by mid-century.
