據阿拉伯貿易3月6日消息稱，阿布扎比國家石油公司 (ADNOC) 與世界領先的甲醇生產商之一 Proman 簽署了一項協議，將在阿布扎比 Ruwais 的 Ta'Ziz 工業化學品區開發阿聯酋首個世界級甲醇生產設施。

根據協議條款，阿布扎比化工衍生品公司 (Ta'Ziz) 和 Proman 將建造一座天然氣制甲醇設施，預計年產能可達 180 萬噸。該設施將滿足國內外對這種清潔和多功能的化工商品日益增長的需求，作為一種低排放的燃料，與現有的工業產品用途一起，這種化工商品正獲得發展勢頭。該項目還有待相關監管部門的批準。

Ta'Ziz 是阿布扎比國家石油公司 (ADNOC) 和總部位于阿布扎比的投資和控股公司 ADQ 的合資企業。擬議的合作將充分利用Adnoc對下游石化產品具有吸引力的價值主張、ADQ多樣化的投資組合以及Proman作為世界第二大甲醇生產商的廣泛建設和運營專業知識。

阿聯酋工業和先進技術部長兼 ADNOC 董事總經理兼集團首席執行官 Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber 博士說：“我們很高興歡迎 Proman 成為我們開發阿聯酋首個國內甲醇生產設施的戰略合作伙伴。這個世界規模的工廠推進了Ta’ziz的使命，使阿聯酋的經濟多樣化，并加速工業發展，通過在阿聯酋的新化學品生產實現本地供應鏈。

“作為Proman在阿聯酋的第一筆投資，我們的協議強調了阿聯酋作為國際資本高度有吸引力的目的地的持續吸引力，支持阿布扎比私營部門的長期工業增長。”

ADNOC, Proman to develop world-scale methanol facility

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has signed an agreement with Proman, one of the world’s leading producers of methanol, to develop a UAE-first world-scale methanol production facility at the Ta’Ziz Industrial Chemicals Zone in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.

Under the terms of the agreement, Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Company (Ta’Ziz) and Proman will construct a natural gas to methanol facility with an anticipated annual capacity of up to 1.8 million tons per annum. The facility will meet growing domestic and international demand for this clean and versatile chemical commodity which is gaining momentum as a lower-emission fuel alongside existing uses spanning industrial products. The project is subject to relevant regulatory approvals.

Ta’Ziz is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and ADQ, an Abu Dhabi-based investment and holding company. The proposed partnership will capitalize upon ADNOC’s attractive value proposition for downstream petrochemicals, ADQ’s diversified portfolio and Proman’s extensive construction and operational expertise as the world’s second largest methanol producer.

Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, said: “We are pleased to welcome Proman as a strategic partner as we develop the UAE’s first domestic methanol production facility. This world-scale plant advances the Ta’Ziz mission to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate industrial development, by enabling local supply chains through the production of new chemicals in the UAE.

“As Proman’s first investment in the UAE, our agreement underscores the continued appeal of the UAE as a highly attractive destination for international capital, supporting long-term industrial growth for Abu Dhabi’s private sector.”
