ADNOC Gas has signed a long-term agreement valued between $3.5 billion and $4.2 billion to supply lower-carbon natural gas to EMSTEEL, one of the UAE’s largest integrated steel and building materials manufacturers. The 20-year contract, effective Jan. 1, 2027, secures feedstock for EMSTEEL’s industrial operations while expanding ADNOC Gas’ long-term revenue portfolio.
The deal reinforces the companies’ longstanding partnership and supports the UAE’s broader strategy to strengthen domestic industrial capacity with cleaner-burning energy sources. EMSTEEL will use the contracted gas to scale production, advance its green-steel initiatives and improve efficiency across its value chain.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, said the agreement “underpins ADNOC Gas’ role in boosting the UAE’s industrial growth and economic development,” adding that the company remains committed to delivering reliable, lower-carbon energy to strategic domestic sectors.
EMSTEEL Group CEO Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi said the partnership “reflects the strength of collaboration between two national champions,” providing long-term energy security while supporting in-country value and the UAE’s industrial resilience.
The announcement follows the recent ADNOC Board meeting held at the company’s Habshan complex, highlighting ADNOC Gas’ strategic role in the UAE’s energy system. Board members reviewed ongoing expansion programs in processing, compression and sustainability aimed at supporting national energy security and long-term industrial growth.
