The project is initially targeting a minimum of 18k tons per year sourced from Fertiglobe\u2019s UAE operations, it adds. Adnoc holds a 36% stake in Fertiglobe, which is MENA\u2019s largest nitrogen fertilizer and ammonia producer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enterprise, what does sequestering CO2 in a carbonate saline aquifer mean? <\/strong>Put simply, what we\u2019re talking about is capturing CO2 and then injecting it into rocks \u2014 literally putting the carbon back deep in the ground. Saline aquifers are \u201cporous and permeable <a href=\"https:\/\/ogst.ifpenergiesnouvelles.fr\/articles\/ogst\/pdf\/2005\/03\/benthman_vol60n3.pdf\">reservoir rocks<\/a> that contain saline fluid in the pore spaces between the rock grains.\u201d Injecting the CO2 into this saline fluid is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s11242-007-9132-5.pdf\">three ways (pdf)<\/a> in which captured carbon can be trapped in geological formations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This project will ultimately contribute to Fertiglobe\u2019s production of lower-carbon <\/strong><strong>ammonia<\/strong>, the Wam statement notes. Fertiglobe has already produced and shipped several pilot cargoes of low-carbon ammonia to Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is the latest addition to Adnoc\u2019s recent decarbonization push: <\/strong>Adnoc is allocating some USD 15 bn to a raft of projects to decarbonize its operations, the Wam statement notes. Multiple new agreements <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/13e6008c-9206-4031-bfc2-7ab69bb7771d\">were signed<\/a> at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week last week \u2014 including a partnership with Thyssenkrupp for large-scale ammonia cracking and a partnership with Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation, renewables developer Masdar, and Omani carbon removal and mineralization firm 44.01 to pilot technology that will permanently mineralize CO2 in rock formations in Fujairah.<\/p>\n<p><em>CORRECTION- 23 January, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This story was amended to correct Adnoc's ownership stake in Fertiglobe, which is 36% and not 42% as we had originally reported.
