TA’ZIZ signs agreement to build ammonia facility in Al Ruways Industrial City

Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Co (TA’ZIZ) announced today the signing an agreement with Fertiglobe and Mitsui to develop a low-carbon ammonia production facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Al Ruways Industrial City.

The facility will reinforce Abu Dhabi’s position as a leader in low-carbon fuels and capitalise on the growing demand for low-carbon ammonia as a carrier fuel for clean hydrogen. The agreement builds on ADNOC’s expertise in CCUS, Fertiglobe’s world-leading ammonia capabilities, and Mitsui and GS Energy’s leading roles in industrial decarbonisation. It follows several agreements signed by ADNOC to explore hydrogen supply opportunities with customers in key demand centers.

Khaleefa Yousef Al Mheiri, TA’ZIZ’s acting CEO, said in a press release: “As we continue to grow our manufacturing base in Al Ruways Industrial City, the UAE is well-placed to meet increasing global demand for chemicals while strengthening our position as a world-scale chemicals and industrial hub and top destination for local and international investment.”

Low-carbon ammonia is made from hydrogen derived from natural gas feedstocks and nitrogen, with the carbon dioxide produced captured and stored. Ammonia can be used as a low-carbon fuel for applications, including transportation and power generation and in industries, such as steel, cement and fertilizers.
