ADNOC Joins UK Hydrogen Revolution with Major Investment
Teesside, Friday, 31 October 2025.
ADNOC’s first venture into the UK’s hydrogen market underscores the growing global focus on hydrogen as a clean energy source. The H2Teesside project aims to produce 1.5 million tonnes of hydrogen annually, bolstering the UK’s low-carbon goals and ADNOC’s green portfolio.
ADNOC’s Strategic Leap into the UK Hydrogen Market
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has made a bold move by investing in the UK’s burgeoning hydrogen sector. With a 25% stake in BP’s H2Teesside project, ADNOC is setting its sights on producing 1.5 million tonnes of blue hydrogen annually, helping the UK reach its net-zero emissions target by 2050. This venture not only strengthens ADNOC’s green credentials but also aligns with the UK government’s ambition to expand hydrogen production capacity to 10 GW by 2030 [1][2].
Collaborative Efforts and Economic Impact
The H2Teesside project is expected to be a game-changer, potentially delivering 15% of the UK’s hydrogen production target by 2030. The collaboration between ADNOC and BP reflects a broader commitment to sustainable energy solutions. The project is set to create over 5,000 jobs during the construction phase and more than 1,000 permanent positions once operational. ADNOC’s involvement highlights the UAE’s strategic pivot towards low-carbon technologies [1][3][4].
A Glimpse into the Future
As ADNOC embarks on this new venture, it also explores further hydrogen opportunities globally. A feasibility study in Abu Dhabi aims to assess another blue hydrogen project, while collaborations with Masdar and Etihad Airways look into sustainable aviation fuels. ADNOC’s strategic investments signify a robust commitment to innovation and the future of energy, seamlessly blending traditional energy expertise with new-age technologies [2][3][5].
