The LNG will be supplied from ADNOC Gas’ Das Island liquefaction facility – a key asset in the company’s portfolio. With a production capacity of six million tonnes per year, Das Island’s LNG plant has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes worldwide since starting operations in 1977, strengthening ADNOC Gas’ long-term relationships with key global energy partners.
The agreement builds on the ongoing strategic collaboration between the United Arab Emirates and Germany, including the 2022 Energy Security and Industry Accelerator (ESIA) pact and the 2024 Joint Declaration with the state of Baden-Württemberg, both aimed at fostering energy security and sustainable fuel development.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, said: “This agreement strengthens our longstanding partnership with SEFE and reinforces ADNOC Gas’ role as a reliable global energy provider and our commitment to supporting energy security and sustainability in Europe. As we continue to make tangible progress in delivering our strategic goals, it sends a clear message to investors, partners, and stakeholders about our ability to thrive in today’s energy markets.”
Frederic Barnaud, CCO of SEFE, said: “Over the past two decades, we’ve built a strong partnership with ADNOC, and we value our relationship with such a reputable and reliable supplier. This new medium-term LNG contract builds on the long-term supply agreement with ADNOC that we signed last year, thereby adding another flexible source of LNG to our portfolio – to the benefit of both Europe’s security of supply and our global market trading activities.”
ADNOC Gas is a key player in the ADNOC Group’s strategy to enhance its natural gas production capacity and expand its global LNG exports, contributing to the United Arab Emirates’ broader goals of sustainable energy growth and strengthening economic ties with key international markets. As a crucial transitional fuel, natural gas offers lower carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels and serves as an important raw material in industrial value chains.
SEFE is committed to ensuring energy security across Germany and Europe by expanding its international portfolio and strengthening its global partnerships. As part of this commitment, SEFE collaborates with leading LNG and natural gas producers around the world to ensure diversified and reliable energy sources for Germany and beyond.
