Deploying Pioneering Technologies

~80% of our new technology projects are dedicated to sustainable growth through innovation.

We are investing in innovative technology to accelerate decarbonization and transform the energy landscape of tomorrow.

And with industry-leading innovators, we’re working to develop and deploy technologies to achieve our Net Zero by 2045 ambition.

Turning CO₂ into rock

By combining direct air capture with in-situ mineralization, the ADNOC–44.01 partnership has supported the advancement of a scientifically robust, safe and scalable pathway for carbon dioxide removal, positioning the UAE as a leader in sustainable carbon removal solutions.

Building on the successful completion of the joint ADNOC and 44.01 pilot in 2023 that permanently mineralized 10 tonnes of CO₂ within Fujairah’s peridotite rock formations in under 100 days, 44.01 has announced plans to scale-up the pioneering carbon-to-rock project in the Emirate of Fujairah.

The first phase of the scale-up will involve the injection of more than 300 tonnes of CO₂ over an extended period, aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying this technology at scale within the UAE.

Pioneering in geothermal energy

Due to high temperatures, cooling is an energy intensive process in the Middle East. We are piloting ways to decarbonize the cooling of buildings in a first-of-its-kind project with Tabreed that harnesses geothermal energy – tapping into the heat within the earth.

As one of the latest examples of our $23 billion allocation towards low-carbon solutions, this project has the potential to support Tabreed to meet up to 10% of Masdar City’s cooling needs and reduce energy demand from the national grid. We are also working with partners to explore ways of expanding its use in the UAE.
