The UAE’s first methanol plant will manufacture low-carbon ammonia among other products from 2028.
The $1.7bn project, designed to unlock new domestic chemical value chains, will be located in Al Ruwais Industrial City in Al Dhafra region, TA’ZIZ announced today. The plant will be powered by clean energy from the grid.
In its initial phase, TA’ZIZ will produce 4.7 mtpa of chemicals by 2028, including methanol, low-carbon ammonia, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, and caustic soda. Several chemicals will be produced for the first time in the Emirates.
Mashal Saoud Al-Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ, said the plant will enhance the UAE’s position as a leader in sustainable production and strengthen TA’ZIZ’s role in enabling ADNOC’s global ambition to lead the chemicals sector. Samsung E&A has been awarded the EPC contract.
