The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has disclosed during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) that works have begun for the first fully sequestered CO2 injection well in a carbonate saline aquifer in the world.
The project, part of the company’s efforts to reach 2050 net zero targets, is located in Fujairah, where it will mineralise CO2 within rock formations. Injection of CO2 is scheduled to start in the second quarter of this year.
It will also be powered by solar energy supplied by Masdar, which is a partner in the initiative along with Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation (FNRC).
