From the source

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced the signing of memoranda of understanding and joint study agreements with German companies, with the aim of enhancing and accelerating cooperation in the field of clean hydrogen.

Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and CEO of ADNOC and its group of companies, said that the agreements will contribute to strengthening ADNOC's position as a reliable supplier of clean hydrogen to European countries, pointing out that ADNOC is also making great efforts to meet Demand for clean hydrogen in Asia.

He added, "We are committed to cooperating with partners who have the same visions and goals to implement initiatives and projects that contribute to providing the world with its low-emission energy needs."

cooperation

For his part, Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection in the German Federal Government, Dr. Robert Habeck, stressed the importance of Emirati-German cooperation to advance climate action, and said, “The rapid expansion of hydrogen supply chains is essential to our transition to sustainable energy and achieving emissions reduction goals, including It is in line with our commitments under the (Paris Agreement),” noting that the agreements are an important step towards meeting the ambitions of both parties for climate action.

Signing agreements

During the German minister’s visit to the UAE, agreements were signed between ADNOC and a number of German companies, to explore opportunities for cooperation in low-carbon hydrogen derivatives and renewable energy, including trial shipments of low-carbon blue ammonia from the UAE in 2022 for use in industrial applications. Variety in Germany.

low carbon ammonia

ADNOC will provide its partners in Germany with low-carbon ammonia from the Fertil plant of Fertiglobe, a joint venture between ADNOC and OCI, listed on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange, located in the Ruwais Industrial Complex in Abu Dhabi.

Ammonia sales represent significant progress in implementing Abu Dhabi's plans to increase its production capacity of blue ammonia, which is expected to include the implementation of a low-cost program to increase production at the "Fertil" plant.

ADNOC and its partners are also working on implementing investments to develop a global project to produce blue ammonia within the “Tazez” system in Ruwais, with a production capacity of one million metric tons per year of blue ammonia, subject to obtaining approvals from all relevant regulatory authorities, as ADNOC and its partners are exploring. Multiple Opportunities in Green Hydrogen.

Hamburg support

A memorandum of understanding was also signed between ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi Ports Group, and HTLA, the operator of the Port of Hamburg and other ports specialized in logistics, sea freight and container transportation, aimed at supporting the realization of Hamburg's ambitions to become a hub for hydrogen import in Germany. .

joint study

ADNOC also signed a joint study agreement with the German companies "Hydrogenius" and "Uniper", and "Jera Company of Japan", to explore potential cooperation opportunities in the field of hydrogen transportation between the UAE and Germany, using organic hydrogen-bearing liquids.

Under the agreement, the parties will explore opportunities to increase the capabilities of the technology currently used to transport hydrogen using organic liquids bearing it, to help meet the growing global demand for hydrogen transportation.

hydrogen demand

According to the German strategy for hydrogen, which aims to reduce emissions, it is expected that the demand for clean hydrogen will reach three million metric tons per year by 2030, with about 60% of this amount being saved by import, and the possibility of a rise in demand for this substance in Germany to Over 11 million metric tons annually by 2050.

ADNOC Operations

ADNOC is one of the leading companies in the production of hydrogen, and is implementing ambitious plans to significantly increase its production of clean hydrogen, as it continues to consolidate its position in the fast-growing Asian markets in the field of clean hydrogen, especially in Japan and South Korea.

ADNOC has also exported several trial shipments of low-carbon ammonia, for its potential use in a wide range of industrial applications.

ADNOC also plans to enter the European markets through Germany, as it is working to accelerate the implementation of a roadmap to achieve leadership in the hydrogen field for the UAE, which sees Germany as a major export market to meet its goals of providing up to 25% of this country's needs of clean hydrogen. importer.
