ADNOC Secures $2 Billion K-SURE-Backed Green Loan for Lower-Carbon Projects

The facility deepens ADNOC’s access to export-credit green capital to support its decarbonisation program.

Overview

  • The financing is structured under ADNOC’s sustainable finance framework to fund projects that meet international sustainable finance standards.
  • Sustainable Fitch provided an independent second‑party opinion confirming alignment with global sustainable finance principles.
  • First Abu Dhabi Bank is the green loan coordinator and Santander is the export credit agency coordinator for the transaction.
  • The deal follows a $3 billion JBIC-backed facility in 2024, lifting ADNOC’s labelled green funding to about $5 billion over 18 months.
  • The agreement was announced during Sultan Al Jaber’s visit to South Korea, as ADNOC pursues a 25% cut in operational emissions intensity by 2030 with roughly $23 billion earmarked for new energy and separately secures $11 billion to monetise Hail and Ghasha midstream gas assets.
