France’s TotalEneriges acquired a 10% interest in Ruwais LNG, a two-train 9.6 project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The project is slated to start up in the second half of 2028.
Other partners in Ruwais LNG, located in Al Ruwais Industrial city, Abu Dhabi, include ADNOC (60% interest), Shell (10%), BP (10%) and Mitsui (10%), TotalEnergies said July 10 in a press release.
Ruwais LNG plans to use full-electric liquefaction trains that will be supplied with clean power by the UAE’s grid, making it one of the world’s lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants, TotalEnergies said in the release.
The LNG facility will also leverage the latest technologies to “enhance safety, drive efficiency and minimize emissions,” the French company added.
“As natural gas demand continues to increase, this world-class project will enable us to provide more lower-carbon gas to meet growing demand today while helping the world transition to a cleaner energy future,” TotalEnergies said in the release, citing Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, ADNOC’s managing director and group CEO.
“Additionally, the project will accelerate development in Al Ruwais Industrial City, boost the local industrial ecosystem and create more skilled private sector jobs for UAE nationals”, Al Jaber said.
