Achieving net zero by 2045 requires a phased and adaptive pathway that accounts for material uncertainties in long-term growth, technology readiness, cost evolution and infrastructure availability. The viability of many decarbonization levers at this scale also depends on a supportive policy ecosystem that enables the commercial deployment of advanced technologies at pace. ADNOC has developed a range of decarbonization scenarios extending beyond 2030, exploring alternative sequencing of abatement levers and the potential adoption of emerging technologies over time. We will prioritize actions that are economically viable, technically proven and robust across a wide range of future scenarios, preserving flexibility to adapt the pathway as technologies mature and the policy environment evolves. Enabling delivery through disciplined carbon management ADNOC's carbon management framework, which provides a single, coherent approach to managing emissions and abatement across the Group, governs delivery across all phases. The framework embeds carbon considerations into business planning, investment decisions and operational management, ensuring consistency, accountability and integrity across all carbon-related activities from data generation to external reporting. ADNOC’s Climate team drives Group-level strategy, target- setting and performance monitoring. Group companies are accountable for implementing carbon management standards and managing emissions performance within their operations. Decarbonization considerations are integrated into the CAPEX decision-making process, and the Investment Committee provides executive oversight, reviews priorities and supports the alignment of capital allocation with our decarbonization objectives and broader business strategy. Scope 1 emissions In 2025, we achieved an incremental abatement of 0.9 million tCO 2 e in Scope 1 emissions across our value chain, through upgrades in power generation efficiency, heat recovery enhancements and process optimization across major operating assets. Additionally, ADNOC L&S continued to decarbonize the maritime fleet through investments in dual-fuel vessels capable of operating on lower-carbon fuel. We also reached our 2025 goal of improving energy efficiency by 5% from a 2018 baseline. Energy efficiency is a strategic lever in ADNOC’s decarbonization approach, driving emissions reductions, cost optimization and operational resilience across the value chain. These measures generated $22 million (AED 81 million) in cost savings in 2025, bringing cumulative savings to $242 million (AED 888 million) since 2022 and reinforcing the business case for efficiency-led decarbonization. By 2025, ADNOC had realized over 5 million tCO₂e of operational reductions against a 2019 baseline, with 76% from energy efficiency, 12% from flaring reduction, 11% from electrification, and less than 1% from renewables and fuel switch. The year 2025 marked a transition from the first phase of our decarbonization program to the second phase and represented a significant milestone in our progress towards our 2030 intensity reduction target as we realized our near- term abatement opportunities. In 2025, despite a 3% increase in upstream emissions compared to our 2024 performance, we achieved an upstream GHG intensity of 7.0 kg CO 2 e/boe, sustaining our position among the lowest carbon intensity producers in the industry.
