- Agreement signed for TA’ZIZ EDC PVC joint venture incorporation

- Number of chemicals to be produced at TA’ZIZ set to double with a new world-scale, low-carbon footprint steam cracker

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and ADQ, the majority shareholders in TA’ZIZ, launched, today, the next phase of growth at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone, in Al Ruways Industrial City, which will more than double the number of chemicals produced at the industrial hub.

The centerpiece of the expansion will be a new world-scale, low-carbon footprint steam cracker to supply feedstocks for the various downstream production units, bringing multiple new product value chains to the UAE for the first time. The project is in the feasibility study phase, with the design phase set to commence in Q1 2023.

The first phase of TA’ZIZ growth continues to progress, with a new strategic agreement signed at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) to advance the development of world-scale facilities for the production of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and chlor-alkali, polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Site preparation at TA’ZIZ is underway and final investment decisions on the first phase of projects are expected before year end.
