據電力新聞2021年5月24日報道，作為阿聯酋最大的能源生產商，阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC.)計劃在阿聯酋建造一座藍氨生產廠，以尋求成為包括氫在內的清潔能源產品的領導者。

　　ADNOC在5月24日的一份聲明中表示，這個將建在阿布扎比酋長國的工業中心魯韋斯的設施將具有年產100萬噸藍氨的能力。

　　這個位于魯韋斯TA'ZIZ工業園區的設施預計將在2025年開始生產藍氨。

　　ADNOC沒有披露這個項目的成本。藍氨由氮和藍氫制成，藍氫從化石燃料中產生，期間氫生產的副產品二氧化碳被捕獲和儲存。

　　ADNOC首席執行官賈貝爾在聲明中表示：“由于我們共同引領全球能源轉型，我們相信氫和它的載體燃料，如氨，將提供零碳能源的前景和潛力。”

　　目前，ADNOC的氫氣年產量為30萬噸，并計劃將氫氣年產能提高到50萬噸以上。ADNOC的Al Reyadah項目每年可以從阿聯酋當地的鋼鐵生產中捕獲80萬噸二氧化碳，ADNOC計劃到2030年前將其碳捕獲利用和儲存能力提高到500萬噸/年。

　　ADNOC to build blue ammonia facility in UAE in clean energy push

　　Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. plans to build a blue ammonia production plant as the UAE's biggest energy producer seeks to become a leader in clean energy products, including hydrogen.

　　The facility, to be built in the industrial hub of Ruwais in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, will have the capacity to produce 1 million mt/year of blue ammonia, ADNOC said in a May 24 statement.

　　The facility, part of the TA'ZIZ industrial park in Ruwais, is envisaged to start production in 2025. ADNOC didn't disclose the cost of the project. Blue ammonia is made from nitrogen and blue hydrogen, which is produced from fossil fuels, with the CO2 by-product from hydrogen production captured and stored.

　　"As we collectively navigate the global energy transition, we believe hydrogen, and its carrier fuels such as ammonia, offer promise and potential as zero carbon energy sources," Sultan al-Jaber, CEO of ADNOC, said in the statement.

　　Currently ADNOC produces 300,000 mt/year of hydrogen and has plans to boost capacity to more than 500,000 mt/year. ADNOC's Al Reyadah project can capture 800,000 mt/year of CO2 from local UAE steel production and the company plans to boost its carbon capture utilization and storage capacity to 5 million mt/year by 2030.
