Adnoc’s clean energy arm Masdar and its investment platform XRG opened new offices in Washington to help manage and scale its planned US investments, Reuters reports, citing comments made by Adnoc CEO Sultan Al Jaber at an investment event in Washington. XRG recently said it would also make a “very large and significant investment” in the US.

Next step is supply chain integration: Jaber called for a “coordinated roadmap” between Abu Dhabi and Washington to jointly develop AI ecosystems across sectors.

Background: State oil giant Adnoc plans to increase its US investments to USD 440 bn over the next decade, The six-fold increase would span oil and gas, petrochem, and renewables, with Jaber calling the US “not just a priority, it is an investment imperative.” Earlier this year Adnoc was said to be considering a USD 9 bn acquisition of US natural gas assets, to add to its existing portfolio across the pond which includes an 11.7% stake in Texas’ USD 18 bn Rio Grande LNG export facility and a 35% stake in ExxonMobil’s proposed law-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production facility — also in Texas. Adnoc also established a trading desk in the US as part of its expansion plans.

Adnoc’s USD 440 bn investment sits within a broader USD 1.4 tn UAE commitment to the US, focusing on key sectors like energy, manufacturing, and AI — a framework unveiled in March and finalized during Donald Trump’s state visit in May.
