UAE Business: Adnoc JV to complete Waste Heat Recovery project Phase I in 2022 – Gulf Digital News

Adnoc Refining, a joint venture company between the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), Eni, and OMV, is set to complete the first phase of its innovative Waste Heat Recovery project at the General Utilities Plant in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, before the end of the year.

Started in 2018, the $600 million Waste Heat Recovery project will recycle waste heat generated from the plant to produce up to an additional 230 megawatts (MW) of electricity per day – enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. It will also produce 62,400 cubic metres (m3) of distilled water per day for use in the plant, said a statement from Adnoc Refining.

Adnoc produces some of the world's least-carbon intensive crude and the company is further reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 25% by 2030, aligned to the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.

Adnoc Refining said the Waste Heat Recovery project is one of several strategic initiatives to decarbonise Adnoc's operations and builds on the company's heritage of responsible environmental stewardship.

This includes milestones such as implementing a zero routine gas flaring policy in the early 2000s and establishing the region's first commercial-scale Carbon Capture and Underground Storage facility in 2016.
