📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of Blue Ammonia Production Facility in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, in the UAE.
Description:
ADNOC is an early pioneer in the emerging hydrogen market, driving the UAE’s leadership in creating local and international hydrogen value chains, while contributing to economic growth and diversification in the UAE. Blue ammonia is made from nitrogen and blue hydrogen derived from natural gas feedstocks, with the carbon dioxide by-product from hydrogen production captured and stored. Ammonia can be used as a low-carbon fuel across a wide range of industrial applications, including transportation, power generation and industries including steel, cement and fertiliser production. The facility’s capacity will be 1,000 kilotons per annum. The development also signals that the TA’ZIZ industrial ecosystem is moving ahead at speed in Ruwais. With TA’ZIZ as a key catalyst, They are well placed to further strengthen our position as a leading destination for local and international investment, leveraging technology to further grow the UAE’s advanced manufacturing and industrial base. The project will build on the UAE’s position as a major producer and reserves holder of natural gas and leadership in Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS). CCUS is the use of advanced technology to prevent CO2 from entering the atmosphere after it is expended as a by-product of industrial processes. Design contracts have been awarded for the initial Front-End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED) work for the ammonia project to Wood. In parallel ADNOC will undertake a feasibility study on the supply of blue hydrogen to the project from its operations in Ruwais. It will starting production in 2027. Mitsui has also signed a loan agreement with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) to finance the development of the project.
