Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed an agreement with Proman to develop the United Arab Emirates’(UAE) first world-scale methanol production facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. Under the terms of the agreement, Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Company RSC Ltd.

This world-scale plant advances the TA’ZIZ mission to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate industrial development, by enabling local supply chains through the production of new chemicals in the UAE.
