Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) will create green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in partnership with UK energy major BP and Masdar, UAE’s renewable energy company.
ADNOC signed a deal with both the companies for the same as the oil producer seeks to develop clean fuels in line with an energy transition plan.
The cooperation agreements related to BP’s HyGreen Teesside, a large-scale green hydrogen production facility in the UK.
ADNOC and BP will begin the design phase of the H2Teesside low-carbon hydrogen project.
💪 We’re strengthening our partnerships with @AdnocGroup & @Masdar, through a series of exciting agreements. They reinforce the world-leading role that Teesside, & the UK, can play in developing new supplies of energy, as we build our low carbon businesses in the UK & UAE.

Also, Masdar and BP signed an MOU to potentially collaborate on the green hydrogen project which will be powered by offshore wind.
This will be ADNOC’s first investment in the UK, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
ADNOC, BP and Masdar will also explore the production of SAF in the UAE using solar-to-green hydrogen and municipal waste gasification.
This includes leveraging the capabilities of the UAE’s Tadweer (Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre) and Etihad Airways.
The deals build upon the strategic framework agreements signed during the 2021 visit to the UK by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
