Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to work with France’s TotalEnergies on carbon capture
The deal came during UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s visit to France, where he strengthened energy relations with the European country. The two countries have grown closer over Libya and energy exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed a partnership agreement with France’s TotalEnergies yesterday.
ADNOC will work with TotalEnergies on carbon capture utilization and storage. They will also collaborate on gas growth, product supply and trade, ADNOC said in a press release.
ADNOC is owned by the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
What is carbon capture? Carbon capture refers to the physical trapping and separation of carbon dioxide. It regularly occurs at carbon’s emission sources such as at factories, power plants or gas facilities. Carbon dioxide can also be removed from the atmosphere, according to the British Geological Survey.
