JGC Holdings Corporation, led by representative director and CEO Masayuki Sato, announced today that JGC Corporation, in collaboration with Technip Energies and NPCC, has been granted a Limited Notice To Proceed from ADNOC to initiate early engineering, procurement, and construction activities for the Ruwais low-carbon LNG Project in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.

The project encompasses two natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined LNG production capacity of 9.6 Mtpa. Distinguished by its utilization of electric-driven motors in lieu of conventional gas turbines, the plant will be powered by clean energy.

Positioned as the inaugural LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa region to operate on clean power, the Ruwais low-carbon LNG Project is poised to become one of the world’s lowest-carbon-intensity LNG plants.

This initiative will notably bolster ADNOC’s LNG production capacity, aligning with burgeoning global natural gas demand and the imperative shift towards decarbonisation.

Farhan Mujib, representative director and president of JGC, expressed, “We are deeply honoured to partake in this groundbreaking low-carbon LNG roject. Aligned with the global thrust towards decarbonisation, the JGC Group is steadfastly advancing energy transition efforts, with this project squarely within the ambit of our strategic direction. We pledge to leverage our expertise and experience for the success of the Ruwais low-carbon LNG Project, drawing upon our extensive track record in the LNG domain. We firmly believe this endeavour will contribute to the project’s success and bolster economic growth in the UAE.”

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, remarked, “LNG stands as a pivotal energy source on the trajectory towards net zero, and Technip Energies remains committed to facilitating its continued advancement while effectively addressing the growing demand for emissions reduction within the industry. The Ruwais LNG project epitomises the future by pioneering a decarbonised LNG industry. By employing zero-carbon energy sources to energise electrified LNG trains, we are setting a new benchmark for LNG production. This project not only fortifies our enduring partnership with ADNOC but also underscores our leadership in low-carbon LNG. We take pride in our involvement in this project, which seamlessly aligns with our vision of enabling net-zero solutions and confronting the imperative of delivering affordable, accessible, and sustainable energy.”

Ahmed Al Dhaheri, CEO of NPCC, added, “We are immensely honoured to be entrusted with the Ruwais low-carbon LNG Project alongside our esteemed partners, marking a significant stride towards environmental sustainability and global energy transition. The adoption of clean energy for LNG production establishes a groundbreaking industry standard, significantly curbing carbon emissions and charting a course towards a cleaner future. We take pride in our participation in a project that not only secures energy resources but also showcases the UAE’s leadership in driving the energy transition.”
