ADNOC recognizes that meeting the world’s growing need for affordable, secure and lower-carbon energy requires a balanced and pragmatic approach, one that sustains a reliable energy supply while progressively reducing the carbon intensity of that supply. ADNOC’s response is grounded in active investment across three strategic priority areas. Customers and regulators in key markets are placing increasing weight on credible emissions performance and the carbon intensity of energy supply alongside energy security and affordability. Why this matters Implementing a Group-wide decarbonization roadmap with defined targets, advancing energy efficiency, methane reduction and flare minimization programs across operations, systematically monitoring alignment with carbon- related regulatory developments in export markets. ADNOC’s actions Lower-carbon operations Strategic priority A diversified energy portfolio, spanning hydrocarbons and lower- carbon solutions, strengthen energy security while expanding ADNOC’s addressable market as the global energy mix evolves. Developing and deploying technology, including decarbonization solutions and digital optimization, is central to support a lower-carbon energy system while sustaining operational performance and competitiveness. Strategic partnership with Masdar to scale renewable energy, investments in CCUS, pursuit of lower-carbon intensity energy supply. Deploying AI and digital technologies across upstream and downstream operations to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions intensity; advancing carbon capture and storage capabilities.
