ADNOC has achieved a significant milestone by sending a large commercial cargo of low-carbon blue ammonia to Japan for use in power generation. This shipment, which is the first of its scale to be certified as 'low-carbon' by TÜV SÜD, represents a major breakthrough in the transition towards cleaner energy sources. The ammonia was manufactured at Adnoc's Fertil facility in the Ruwais industrial complex, utilizing natural gas feedstocks and employing carbon capture technology to store and sequester CO2 emissions. Thomas Parsfield, ADNOC's head of business development for blue hydrogen, highlighted the importance of this shipment at the World Hydrogen Summit, emphasizing the potential of low-carbon ammonia to mitigate emissions from heavy industries. The UAE, capitalizing on its abundant gas reserves and expertise in CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage), aims to become a global leader in blue hydrogen and ammonia production. ADNOC's ambitious plan includes scaling up production to 1 million tonnes per year of blue ammonia by 2025, with a commitment to exporting these sustainable energy solutions worldwide.
