Energy & Innovation
The UAE, alongside US partners, is building a prosperous, secure and sustainable energy future. From low-carbon fuels to nuclear and commercially viable renewables, strategic investments across the energy value chain are driving growth and diversification in the UAE and beyond. The UAE’s ‘and-and’ approach to energy development incorporates every option available to meet rapidly growing energy needs and power the growth of advanced technology.
XRG: Investing in Tomorrow’s Energy Systems
Born out of ADNOC, XRG is a global energy investment company with a portfolio spanning high-growth opportunities in gas, low-carbon energy and chemicals. Taking a long-term investment focus in the US, the company’s goal is to accelerate energy system transformation, meet the fast-growing energy needs of AI and unlock economic growth. XRG is a key driver of the UAE’s planned $440 billion in investments across the US energy sector over the next 10 years and will help accelerate American energy production.
A Diversified US Portfolio
Innovative projects with strong growth potential are at the core of XRG’s investment strategy. XRG investments in the US span a mix of new production facilities, acquisitions and partnerships. The company’s global assets total $80 billion and growing and include stakes in US-based projects like NextDecade Corporation’s Rio Grande LNG project, which will produce and export less carbon-intensive LNG, and advanced polymers manufacturer Nova Chemicals.
Powering AI and Advanced Industries
XRG is applying its deep industrial expertise to build and scale critical US energy infrastructure. Its strategic investments are designed to power rapid data center expansion and scale AI. XRG capital deployments will help US companies grow and reach new international markets in sectors like AI, microchips, LNG, chemicals, aerospace and aluminum production.
Masdar: Pioneering Clean Tech
As the UAE’s alternative energy leader, Masdar is spearheading renewable energy expansion, sustainable AI applications and next-generation technology investments. With the UAE tripling its renewable energy capacity by 2030, Masdar is at the forefront of integrating solar, nuclear and AI-driven clean tech solutions into the nation’s energy future. In the US, Masdar manages a 5GW portfolio of wind, solar and storage projects across California, Texas and New York.
Scaling Renewable Energy & AI-Driven Sustainability
Masdar is driving the UAE’s $54 billion plan to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. At the heart of this expansion is the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, set to reach 5 GW of installed capacity by 2030, making it one of the largest solar initiatives globally. Complementing this, Masdar has launched a 100+ MW solar-powered data center, designed to support AI and cloud computing while significantly reducing emissions and enhancing the UAE’s sustainable digital infrastructure.
Nuclear Power & Energy Innovation
Masdar is helping position the UAE as a leader in non-carbon energy production. The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, the Arab world’s first nuclear power plant, provides 25 percent of the UAE’s energy needs. Plans are already in discussion for a second nuclear facility, further securing the UAE’s role in energy security and carbon reduction.
Building the Infrastructure for a Net-Zero Future
With a forecasted electricity generation surplus until 2035, the UAE is channeling its excess energy into powering AI-driven infrastructure, smart grids, and sustainable urban developments. Masdar is leading green hydrogen advancements, ensuring clean fuel alternatives for industry, transportation, and future energy needs.
