Operations for the MENA region\u2019s first geothermal cooling plant located in Abu Dhabi\u2019s <\/strong>Masdar City has officially commenced<\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a> by project co-developer Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc). The G2COOL plant<\/a> will produce chilled water needed by UAE\u2019s National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) for its district cooling activities. The project will be funded under Adnoc\u2019s USD 15 bn allocation<\/a> towards developing low-carbon power solutions.<\/p>\n

How will it work? <\/strong>The plant will extract water from underground wells at temperatures exceeding 90\u00b0C and flow rates nearing 100 liters per second. The water will then be rerouted to an absorption cooling system<\/a> to chill it before sending it to Tabreed\u2019s district cooling network at Masdar City. The geothermal energy project is set to meet 10% of Masdar City\u2019s cooling needs, the statement notes. In August, Adnoc and Tabreed concluded testing<\/a> on two geothermal wells in Abu Dhabi\u2019s Masdar City.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Adnoc and Masdar are teaming up on geothermal energy production:<\/strong> Back in March, Adnoc signed a five-year agreement<\/a> with UAE renewables giant Masdar to explore potential investment and development in the geothermal power sector, with Adnoc serving as Masdar\u2019s drilling technical expert. In February, Masdar acquired shares<\/a> in the geothermal unit of Indonesia\u2019s state-owned energy firm Pertamina, which plans to generate 600 MW of geothermal power by 2028.<\/p>\n

The rest of the region is trying to catch up: <\/strong>In October,Saudi Arabia\u2019s oil giant Aramco said it is considering tapping into geothermal energy<\/a>, with three potential areas on the west coast of the kingdom identified and mapped for the technology. KSA\u2019s Industrialization and Energy Services Company (Taqa) signed a joint venture agreement<\/a> with Iceland\u2019s Reykjavik Geothermal to establish the Taqa Geothermal Energy Company in Riyadh. Countries across the region including Egypt<\/a>, Oman<\/a>, and Jordan<\/a> are similarly stepping up efforts to tap into the clean energy source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
