Low-carbon energies We expect that low-carbon hydrogen will play a vital role in unlocking additional decarbonization opportunities for the hard-to-abate industrial and transportation sectors. To this end, we are progressing our efforts to build low-carbon hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia supply chains, leveraging the UAE’s substantial gas reserves, CCUS capabilities and global partnerships. In 2024, ADNOC successfully delivered the world’s first certified bulk commercial shipment of low- carbon ammonia to Mitsui for use in clean-power generation in Japan. The low-carbon certification process, from production to delivery, has been conducted by TÜV SÜD. Enabled by CCS, the captured CO₂ was permanently stored in the world’s first fully sequestered CO₂ injection well in a carbonate saline aquifer. This landmark shipment, produced by Fertiglobe, builds on previous demonstration cargos delivered by ADNOC to customers in Asia and Germany. ADNOC has also embarked on the design of a facility in Abu Dhabi to produce up to 0.4 mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen per year by capturing up to 3 million tCO₂. ADNOC, together with its partners, TA’ZIZ, Fertiglobe, G.S. Energy Corporation and Mitsui are developing a 1mtpa lower-carbon ammonia facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone. In 2024, TA’ZIZ awarded the construction contract for this facility with operations expected in 2027. The facility will strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for low-carbon fuels to meet growing global demand for clean hydrogen carriers. In another 2024 milestone, ADNOC has signed an agreement to acquire a 35% equity stake in ExxonMobil’s proposed low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia facility in Baytown, Texas. The investment is part of ADNOC’s international growth strategy and commitment to lower-carbon solutions. The facility aims to produce up to 0.9mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen and over 1mtpa of low-carbon ammonia, with approximately 98% of CO₂ captured through advanced CCUS technologies. Once operational, it is expected to be the world’s largest facility of its kind. Hydrogen for mobility In 2024, ADNOC Distribution launched the second phase of H2GO, the region’s first high- speed green hydrogen refueling station, in partnership with Abu Dhabi Mobility. This phase powers a fleet of hydrogen- fueled buses that will undergo a 12-month trial to evaluate the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy solution for Abu Dhabi’s public transport system. The station produces green hydrogen on-site using an electrolyser powered by clean- grid electricity, aligning with the UAE’s National Hydrogen Strategy and supporting the decarbonization of the transport sector. Located in Masdar City, the pilot project is enabled through collaboration with local and global partners, marking a key step toward advancing green hydrogen infrastructure and accelerating the deployment of low-emission mobility solutions in the region. 71 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE EMPOWERING LIVES HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY ADVANCING NET ZERO
