ADNOC announces Fujairah milestone

As part of its upcoming CO2 to rock project, ADNOC has announced a milestone. The project will use a pilot technology that permanently mineralises CO2 in rock formations found in Fujairah.

Masdar has installed solar panels at the site, which will provide the energy required for the project to capture carbon dioxide from the air, mix it with sea water, and inject it underground, where it is expected to mineralize.

When the sun doesn’t shine, we also have a backup generator fueled by WAKUD’s biodiesel made from used cooking oil.

Using 44.01’s Earthshot prize-winning Carbon Capture and Mineralisation (CCM) technology, the project will eliminate CO2 from the atmosphere for the first time in the Middle East. It is the first CCM project in the Middle East by an energy company
