The Abu-Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) energy group ADNOC has announced plans to double its LNG production capacity to meet the increase in global gas demand. The company, through its subsidiary ADNOC Gas, operates a three-train, 5.9 Mt/year gas liquefaction project on Das Island. It will develop the new LNG project in the Al Ruwais Industrial City, Al Dhafrah, Abu Dhabi, where it would benefit from the proximity of ADNOC's gas fields and petrochemical plants; this location was preferred to the Emirate of Fujairah, which was first considered for the project. The new LNG plant would run on renewable and nuclear grid power.
In addition, ADNOC Gas has signed a new 3-year LNG supply agreement with TotalEnergies, for an undisclosed amount but for an estimated worth of US$1-1.2bn. LNG deliveries should start in 2023 and would supply TotalEnergies' global markets, with a focus on Asian markets.
