UAE to build LNG plant to double its export capacity

UAE

The Abu Dhabi National Co. plans to construct a new liquefied natural gas plant that would more than double its export capacity amid a growing demand.  To be built at Fujairah, the plant will be able to produce as much as 9.6 million tons a year, Bloomberg reported. 

 

Currently, the UAE has three liquefaction plants with a total capacity of 5.8 million tons per annum at Das Island, located inside the Gulf.  This comes as the UAE races to expand its exports amid a growing demand following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
