TA’ZIZ awards $2 billion EPC contracts for projects regarding hydrogen derived ammonia, other transition fuels

UAE chemical czar TA’ZIZ has awarded EPC contracts valued at more than $2 billion for the development of essential site infrastructure to advance the TA’ZIZ chemicals and transition fuels ecosystem under development in Al Ruwais Industrial City in Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi. The plan includes low-carbon ammonia derived from blue-hydrogen and methanol production.

The key purpose of the contracts is to boost economic growth and diversification in Al Dhafra region. The awards will also accelerate TA’ZIZ’s efforts to establish a domestic low-carbon chemicals supply chain. This would also be supporting ADNOC’s chemicals growth strategy and ambitions to become a top five global chemicals player.

Mashal Saoud Al-Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ, said, “These infrastructure awards are vital milestones in TA’ZIZ’s mission to develop a world-class, integrated chemicals ecosystem to capitalize on growing global demand for low-carbon chemicals and transition fuels.”

TA’ZIZ is scheduled to commence production in 2027, targeting an output of 4.7 million tons per annum (mtpa) of chemicals by 2028. In its initial phase, TA’ZIZ will produce six chemicals: caustic, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, polyvinyl chloride, low-carbon ammonia and methanol.

The EPC contract for the chemicals port was awarded to NMDC Group. When the port is complete, it will facilitate the export of chemicals and transition fuels, ensuring operational connectivity to regional and global markets and enhancing access to imported supplies.

The EPC contract for the chemicals terminal, including many important projects has been awarded in partnership with Advario, a global leader in energy and chemicals storage and logistics, to Rotary Engineering–Abu Dhabi.

The dedicated chemicals port and terminal will enable exports from the 1 MTPA low-carbon ammonia production facility and world-scale methanol plant TAZIZ is building in Ruwais, as well as imports of key materials. The essential infrastructure will ensure seamless connectivity, efficient transportation of goods, and provide the necessary power for the site’s planned manufacturing and industrial zones.
