Al Reyadah

Company: ADNOC

Country: U.A.E.

Al Reyadah is the first commercial-scale Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) facility in the region and the first fully commercial CO2 facility for the iron and steel industry worldwide. It was founded as a joint venture between Masdar and ADNOC in 2016, with the latter taking full ownership in 2018. Al Reyadah aims to eliminate CO2 emissions equivalent to the amount produced by 170,000 automobiles. It captures up to 800,000 tons of CO2 from the emirates steel industries annually to inject into the Rumaitha and Bab onshore oil fields to boost oil recovery. ADNOC’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy aims to expand its CCUS scale to the equivalent of a forest area twice the size of the U.A.E.
