Abu Dhabi energy giants ADNOC and Masdar join bp in new energy partnership

Dubai: Energy giants ADNOC, Masdar and bp have forged new energy partnerships to maximise opportunities in the transition of energy, inking deals in UAE and the UK. The companies will collaborate in areas of green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel. Abu Dhabi’s flagship carrier Etihad Airways and waste management company Tadweer will be playing a key role in the transition. In the UK, ADNOC and bp advanced to the design phase (pre-FEED) of the H2Teesside low-carbon hydrogen project, while Masdar and bp signed an MoU to explore potential collaboration on the HyGreen Teesside green hydrogen project. In the UAE, ADNOC and bp will conduct a joint feasibility study for a low-carbon hydrogen project in Abu Dhabi. ADNOC, bp and Masdar also agreed to explore production of sustainable aviation fuels in the UAE using solar-to-green hydrogen and municipal waste gasification, leveraging Tadweer’s extensive operational experience to explore conversion of municipal waste into sustainable aviation fuels for Etihad Airways via gasification powered by solar-to-green hydrogen. “In the UK, our role in Teesside will represent ADNOC’s first investment into the UK and help to accelerate innovation in decarbonisation of energy in industrial sectors,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry
