Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has announced new agreements with 30 local companies , potentially worth 10 billion dirhams ($2.7 billion), to make non-oil products as part of its plan to boost local manufacturing, localise supply chain and decarbonise its operations.
The agreements support its target to locally manufacture $19 billion worth of products in its procurement pipeline by 2027 as part of the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative, the state oil company said in a statement on Thursday.
Among the products that will be produced locally under these agreements are personal protective equipment (PPE), battery energy storage systems and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) equipment.
