ADNOC Distribution taps biofuel to power UAE vehicle fleet

The company targets a 15% reduction in CO2 and aligns with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative by contributing to reducing emissions from the transportation sector.

ADNOC Distribution will power its United Arab Emirates (UAE) heavy vehicle fleet by B20 biofuel, targeting a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions.

Produced from waste cooking oil, the biofuel blending process takes place at a production facility located in Madinat Zayed, Abu Dhabi. Through this initiative, which reduces carbon emissions associated with transportation, the company underscores its commitment to take tangible steps that enable sustainable mobility.

“We are delivering on our commitment to using biofuel to power our fleet and help reduce our carbon intensity by 25% by 2030. By incorporating B20 biofuel into our operations, ADNOC Distribution is taking a vital step toward securing a more sustainable future. This initiative underscores ADNOC Distribution’s dedication to a future-focused strategy and supports the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiatives,” said Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution.

The company’s fleet plays a crucial role in supplying fuels and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to corporate customers. This initiative is a step forward in ADNOC’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and is in line with the Group’s efforts to deliver on its accelerated decarbonization plan.

As a testament to ADNOC Distribution’s commitment to sustainability, the company is actively working on the development of innovative sustainable mobility solutions, including electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The company currently operates 38 EV charging points at service stations across the UAE.
