THE CHALLENGE
ADNOC aims to achieve net zero operational emissions by 2045 and reduce carbon intensity by 25% by 2030. The company focuses on energy efficiency, zero routine flaring, methane emission reductions, electrification using nuclear and solar energy, and carbon capture and storage technologies.
THE SOLUTION
In 2023, ADNOC reduced its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 6.2 million tCO2e, with 4.8 million tonnes from clean grid energy. Its upstream GHG intensity was ~7kg CO2e/boe, among the lowest in the industry. The company established a zero routine flaring policy in the 2000s, is a signatory to the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 Initiative and aims to eliminate routine flaring by 2030. The World Bank Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report lists the UAE as having one of the lowest flare volumes and intensities among oil and gas producers.
EXPANDING IMPACT
ADNOC is leveraging technology and AI to build the future energy system, generating $500 million in value and abating up to 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions between 2022 and 2023.
