Our approach is anchored in three integrated action areas: process optimization, energy system integration and technology deployment. We have systematically enhanced asset performance through operational improvements, optimizing oil and gas train configurations, reducing fuel gas and steam consumption in sulfur recovery units and streamlining feed management for natural gas liquids. These interventions have delivered measurable efficiency gains, increased plant throughput and reduced energy intensity. In parallel, we are modernizing infrastructure through the replacement of legacy equipment with high-efficiency systems, expanding waste heat recovery and scaling the use of clean electricity to power critical operations. These efforts are underpinned by advanced analytics, AI-driven monitoring and digital control systems that help enable real-time performance insights and predictive maintenance. Energy efficiency is a strategic lever in ADNOC’s decarbonization strategy, driving emissions reductions, cost optimization and operational resilience across our value chain. In 2024, targeted efficiency initiatives resulted in approximately 1.3 million tCO2e of emissions reduction, bringing Energy and operational efficiency 2022-2024 Emission reductions ktCO2e 1,581 1,388 1,193 our cumulative emission reductions to approximately 3 million tCO2e since 2022. Our focused investment and execution of operational and energy efficiency measures have resulted in $220 million (AED 808 million) in realized cost savings in 2024. These actions characterize ADNOC’s data-enabled and technology-led approach to decarbonization, helping to maximize energy productivity while reducing emissions and unlocking value. As we continue to scale these efforts, we are building a more agile, efficient and sustainable energy system, aligned with our net-zero aim, the UAE’s broader climate goals and supporting ADNOC’s role as a responsible, low-carbon energy provider. 64
