DNV has certified the feasibility for CO2 storage of ADNOC’s West Aquifer site in the UAE, marking a significant step in the region’s efforts toward carbon capture and storage (CCS). This certification supports the decarbonization of the Ruwais industrial site and forms a key part of ADNOC’s broader CCS ambitions, which align with the UAE’s strategy to reach Net Zero by 2050.
The issuance of the Certificate of Feasibility for the West Aquifer project covers the initial subsurface assessments of the Simsima and UER saline reservoirs. The project, guided by DNV-SE-0473, which is based on the ISO 27914 standard, is a vital first step in verifying long-term CO2 storage feasibility.
This certification underscores the importance of independent verification in ensuring that industry best practices are followed. DNV’s expertise in rigorous assessment processes, including due diligence across all technical aspects, helps to ensure that the site is equipped for safe and effective CO2 storage. The West Aquifer project is part of ADNOC’s broader CCS efforts, which aim to reduce industrial CO2 emissions. The success of this project demonstrates the region’s ability to adopt advanced solutions for climate mitigation and sets an example for future initiatives across the Middle East.
