Adnoc is allocating approximately Dh175 billion to the Ruwais LNG, Hail, Ghasha, Borouge 4, and TA'ZIZ mega-projects, capitalizing on synergies and integration opportunities across Adnoc's value chain, including feedstock supply.

During a visit to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Al Dhafra Region, Sheikh Hamdan also toured the Borouge 4 site and reviewed the progress of the Hail, Ghasha, and TA'ZIZ mega-projects. These strategic initiatives are poised to transform the Al Dhafra Region into an energy trading and advanced industrial hub.

Sheikh Hamdan emphasized the significance of Adnoc's ongoing mega-projects in supporting the UAE's economic growth and prosperity. These projects span the energy value chain from gas production and liquefaction to chemicals, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions.

The Ruwais LNG Project, which will more than double Adnoc's UAE LNG production capacity to over 15 million tons per annum (mtpa), was highlighted during the groundbreaking ceremony. Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Adnoc Managing Director and Group CEO, noted that these mega-projects will provide more lower-carbon energy, strengthen the UAE's energy security, and boost economic diversification.

The Hail and Ghasha mega-project aims to make the UAE gas self-sufficient and meet the growing global demand for natural gas. This project, targeting net zero emissions, is set to produce 1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day, making the UAE one of the largest global producers of high-quality sulphur.

Borouge 4, one of the UAE's largest industrial projects, will progress with the world's largest single-site polyolefin complex. Upon completion by the end of 2025, it will increase Borouge's production capacity by 1.4 mtpa to 6.4 mmtpa, delivering up to $1.9 billion in annual revenue.

Sheikh Hamdan was also briefed on the TA'ZIZ chemicals and transition fuels ecosystem under development in Al Ruwais. Scheduled to commence production in 2027, TA'ZIZ aims to produce 4.7 mtpa of chemicals by 2028 in Phase 1, with Phase 2 set to increase total production to over 11 mtpa. TA'ZIZ will introduce a range of chemicals not previously manufactured in the UAE.
