Leveraging Technology & Partnerships

We are committed to creating a collaborative work environment across a global workforce that embraces diversity and inclusion, and one in which our employees can unlock their full potential.

We will continue to create long-term value for our stakeholders by delivering energy with progressively lower emissions. We will do this through an integrated strategy, at the core of which is our focus on reducing our carbon intensity by 25% by 2030 as an interim goal towards our net zero ambition.

We are making significant progress towards our emissions reduction goals across our key decarbonization levers: energy efficiency, flaring reduction, methane management, CCS and electrification. We will continue to mature our abatement projects to ensure tangible and measurable progress, integration into our business plan and the strategic allocation of capital expenditure.

We maintain one of the lowest carbon intensities for oil and gas production globally. This is driven by decades of investing in operational excellence, energy efficiency and flaring reduction.

In 2022 we implemented over 40 projects, in addition to our grid-imported power, that collectively resulted in an emissions reduction of 5.4 million tCO2e across our operations.

Electrifying our Operations

Electrification is a key lever for decarbonizing our operations. Since January 2022, the company has realized 100% of its grid power supply from nuclear and solar energy sources. This makes ADNOC the first major oil and gas company to decarbonize its power at scale.

We are progressing a $3.8 billion, first-of-its-kind, sub-sea transmission network in the MENA region to connect ADNOC’s offshore operations to TAQA’s clean onshore power network, ensuring greater business and environmental benefits.

Upon completion, the project will potentially reduce the carbon footprint of our offshore operations by up to 50%, replacing existing offshore gas turbine generators with power from the grid.

Methane Abatement

Methane abatement is critical to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, given its higher contribution towards global warming, when compared with carbon dioxide. ADNOC is prioritizing the deployment of advanced technology to identify and eliminate methane emissions.We are making great strides towards eliminating the flaring of natural gas across its operations. Our zero routine flaring policy, established in the 2000s, was a major milestone on our path to eliminate flaring and reduce methane emissions. The World Bank Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report annually lists the UAE as having one of the lowest flare volumes and flaring intensities among oil and gas producing countries.Our 2022 methane emissions were 6% lower than in 2021, achieved by a reduction in flaring through the effective use of flare recovery compressor systems during turnarounds in gas processing plants; operational enhancements of rotating equipment for better energy efficiency; performing leak detection and repair (LDAR) surveys and repair interventions; and enhancing the accuracy levels of methane emission factors based on actual measurements.

Our efforts were recognized in 2022 with the award of the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Pathway

ADNOC and the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0

ADNOC is a signatory to the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0, a multi-stakeholder initiative launched by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, to improve industry standards for reporting and reducing methane emissions.We are piloting the latest leak detection technologies such as satellite imaging, aerial drones and robotic inspectors equipped with advanced imaging sensors and laser dispersion spectroscopy.The deployment of such technological solutions across our operations is an essential part of our roadmap to move towards reducing methane emissions through continuous measurement and rapid intervention.Our efforts were recognized in 2022 with the award of the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Pathway for having submitted high quality data and a robust plan to measure methane emissions in line with the Partnership's reporting framework.

2016 Pledge & Achievements

Building on our efforts towards becoming a regional leader in diversity as part of our 2030 Sustainability Strategy we committed to doubling female representation in specialized technical roles to 25% by 2030 and to appoint a woman to every board of directors of companies over which we have a controlling interest by the end of 2022.

12% of our workforce are females

30% of UAE National hires are females.

In 2020, ADNOC became a founding partner of the Pathway20' initiative to increase female representation on corporate governing boards. Through collaboration with leading partners, mentorships and tailored programs, the intent is to strengthen our pipeline of experienced and talented female board directors.

In 2022, ADNOC became a signatory to the United Nation's (UN) Women's Empowerment Principles, underscoring the company's commitment to gender diversity and to empowering women in the workplace and in leadership roles.
