the technologies needed to drive the global transition to sustainable energy and decarbonization, supporting economic growth through these solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company will also focus on the rapidly growing low-carbon ammonia market, which is expected to increase by 70-90 million tonnes annually by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced

chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>XRG is set to begin operations in the first quarter of 2025, with a focus on scaling its platforms and driving impactful growth in the global lower-carbon energy and chemicals markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRG\u2019s launch is part of Adnoc\u2019s strategy to expand its portfolio and capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable
