Each company will hold a 10% interest in the project that is set to begin operations by the second half of 2028.
Energy giants Shell, bp and TotalEnergies have joined the Ruwais LNG project spearheaded by emirate mobility firm ADNOC.
Launched in June 2024, Ruwais LNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project located in Al Ruwais Industrial city, in Abu Dhabi. International mobility giants are joining the project through a 10% interest each, completed by ADNOC’s 60% and Mitsui’s 10% interest.
The project includes two liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 9.6 million tons per year and it is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2028.
“As natural gas demand continues to increase, this world-class project will enable us to provide more lower-carbon gas to meet growing demand today while helping the world transition to a cleaner energy future,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC.
The project applies the highest standards to reduce emissions: its full-electric liquefaction trains will be supplied with clean power by the UAE’s grid, making it one of the world’s lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants.
Once completed, Ruwais LNG is planned to consist of two 4.8 million tonnes per annum (mmtpa) liquefaction trains, to give a total capacity of 9.6 mmtpa.
