Air quality Air quality management is central to ADNOC’s environmental programs and reflects our commitment to minimizing operational impacts. Air emissions, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM), can affect air quality, public health and the environment. Air quality has been recognized as a national priority, and we align our efforts with the UAE National Air Quality Agenda 2031 through effective emission monitoring, operational controls and continuous improvement across our operations. We apply a systematic approach, focused on identifying key emission sources, monitoring performance and implementing mitigation measures where needed. This includes strengthening operational practices, improving efficiency and supporting compliance with applicable environmental requirements, while helping reduce the impact of air emissions on surrounding communities and ecosystems. Managing our air quality impact is an important consideration across our operations, given that emissions are associated with combustion processes, flaring, industrial equipment and transportation activities. To better understand and manage these potential impacts, we assess air quality considerations through EIAs, which incorporate air dispersion modelling to evaluate dispersion and concentration in ambient air against baseline environmental conditions.
