About
ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) is the UAE’s state-owned oil, gas, and petrochemicals group. Its CDR involvement is an adjacent activity pursued through its Low Carbon Solutions directorate and its $80B+ XRG investment arm, including a 2023 preliminary engineering study with Occidental/1PointFive for a megaton-scale UAE DAC facility and a May 2025 Strategic DAC Framework Agreement to consider investing up to $500M in 1PointFive’s South Texas DAC Hub. CDR represents a small fraction of ADNOC’s core hydrocarbons business.
