ADNOC awards major EPC Contract to NMDC, Technip, and JGC
NMDC Energy, in partnership with Technip Energies and JGC Corporation, has announced that it has received a Limited Notice To Proceed (LNTP) from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to begin initial engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities for the Ruwais Low-Carbon LNG Project in Abu Dhabi.
Located in Al Ruwais Industrial City, the project will feature two natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined LNG production capacity of 9.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).
According to NMDC, the facility will use electric-driven motors rather than traditional gas turbines and be powered by clean energy. This will make it the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to operate with clean power. This innovative design positions it as one of the world’s lowest-carbon LNG plants.
The project is set to significantly boost ADNOC’s LNG production capacity, aligning with increasing global demand for natural gas and the transition towards decarbonisation.
CEO Ahmed Al Dhaheri said on the contract win, “We are deeply honoured to be selected for the Ruwais low-carbon LNG Project with our esteemed partners, marking a significant step toward environmental sustainability and global energy transition.”

“Utilising clean energy for LNG production sets a new industry standard, drastically lowering carbon emissions and paving the way for a cleaner future. We’re proud to be part of a project that secures energy and showcases the UAE’s role in leading the energy transition,” stated Al Dhaheri.
Technip Energies CEO Arnaud Pieton said: “LNG is a critical source of energy on the world’s pathway to net zero, and Technip Energies is committed to supporting its continued development while concretely addressing the necessary demand being placed on the industry for emissions abatement.”
“ADNOC’s Ruwais LNG project reflects the future. It innovates for a decarbonised LNG industry. With zero-carbon energy sources to power electrified LNG trains, we are setting a new standard for LNG production,” stated Pieton.
“This project enhances our strong partnership with Adnoc and reinforces our position as a leader in low-carbon LNG. We are proud to be part of this project that perfectly aligns with our ambition of enabling net zero solutions and meeting the challenge of affordable, available and sustainable energy,” he added.
