reduce carbon emissions associated with hard-to-abate industries, we believe it will be a crucial component to not only our own net-zero ambition, but also to global emission reduction targets.” Ashraf Al Ghazzawi, Aramco EVP of Strategy & Corporate Development, further commented, “Aramco’s collaboration with SLB and Linde demonstrates the importance of global partnerships in driving technological innovation, reducing emissions from conventional energy sources and enabling new, lower-carbon energy solutions.” Recently, Aramco announced the launch of Saudi Arabia’s first CO 2 Direct Air Capture (DAC) test unit (see p26). ADNOC initiatives In the UAE, ADNOC aims to expand CCS capacity to 10 MTPA by 2030 with the aim of reducing industrial CO 2 emissions, in line with the UAE’s net zero goals and its own net zero by 2045 goal. ADNOC operates Al Reyadah, the world’s first commercial scale operation to capture and store CO 2 from the steel industry, with a capacity of 800,000 tonnes of CO 2 per year. Recently, ADNOC announced major carbon capture projects, taking its committed investment for carbon capture capacity to almost four MTPA. ADNOC’s pioneering Habshan CCUS project will have the capacity to capture and permanently store 1.5 MTPA of CO 2 within geological formations deep underground. The project will include carbon capture units at the Habshan gas processing plant, pipeline infrastructure, and a network of wells for CO 2 injection. Two high pressure injection packages will handle the captured supercritical CO 2 from the ADNOC Gas (AG) Habshan facility and transport it by dedicated pipeline to the Bab Far North Full Field Development CO2 Storage Hub, which will serve as a junction point to receive supercritical CO 2 from different suppliers and divert it to consumers within the Bab Far North FFD. “We will continue to work with our partners and customers to develop and scale up this technology.” 23 ISSUE 3 2025 | oilreviewmiddleeast.com CCUS
