English Español bp, ADNOC and Masdar to provide clean energy solutions for UK and UAE

The companies intend to explore opportunities to provide sustainable energy and mobility solutions for cities in the UK, UAE and beyond.



Last update:

bp, ADNOC and Masdar have signed three agreements with the potential to lead to billions of dollars of investment into clean and low carbon energy, creating potentially thousands of energy jobs.

The first agreement would see the companies collaborate to initially develop 2GW of low carbon hydrogen across hubs in the UK and UAE, with the intention to expand as the project progresses. Access to clean hydrogen can reduce emissions, ‎enable new, low carbon products, and unlock future fuels. The announcement could enable a significant contribution towards the UK Government’s target to develop 5GW of hydrogen production by 2030. 

It could also lead to the first international investment in the low carbon hydrogen facility in Teesside (H2Teesside), which aims to produce 1GW of blue hydrogen starting in 2027. H2Teesside would capture and store up to two million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year through the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP).

“The UK is our home and we have worked in the UAE for nearly a century. By partnering with the visionary leaders of ADNOC and Masdar, we see massive business opportunity to generate the clean energy the world wants and needs – and at the same time revitalise local economies and create the jobs of the future,” said Bernard Looney, bp’s chief executive officer.

The two companies will initially focus on the application of energy efficiency and storage, cleaner fuels and distributed renewables generation.
