Abu Dhabi Department of Energy Launches New Unified Gas Code and Regulations
The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) announced that it will soon introduce a new Unified Gas Code during ADIPEC 2025. This initiative is part of the emirate’s efforts to make the energy sector safer, more efficient, and sustainable.
Unified Gas Code
The Unified Gas Code sets clear and common standards for the entire gas industry in Abu Dhabi. It aims to ensure the safe and efficient management of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and industrial gases. According to the DoE, this code will create a strong framework that promotes transparency and cooperation between public and private organizations.
This development supports the UAE’s long-term vision for sustainability and its goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. By establishing this code, Abu Dhabi aims to maintain high standards across its energy operations and strengthen its global reputation as a clean energy leader.
The new regulatory system also ensures that the supply of more than 100 petroleum products in the emirate remains secure, reliable, and efficient.
Abdulla Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi DoE, said the Unified Gas Code highlights Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for clean energy and innovation. He emphasized that this initiative is a key step toward achieving the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 target.
Smarter Energy Management
The DoE is also introducing new initiatives to improve how energy is managed across the emirate. These include digital transformation and the use of artificial intelligence to boost efficiency and reduce waste.
Through these innovations, Abu Dhabi expects to save more than $27 million (AED 100 million) each year. Additionally, these changes could reduce annual carbon emissions by over 200,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) by 2050. This is the same as removing more than 40,000 cars from the road.
Looking Ahead
The UAE’s Energy Strategy 2050 aims to triple the country’s use of renewable energy and make its energy mix more balanced and sustainable. To meet the growing energy demand, the UAE plans to invest between $40 billion (AED 150 billion) and $54 billion (AED 200 billion) by the end of this decade.
These investments will help the country strengthen its energy security, support economic growth, and move closer to its goal of Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Overall, Abu Dhabi’s new Unified Gas Code and regulatory initiatives show the emirate’s commitment to building a cleaner, more efficient, and future-ready energy sector. By setting strong rules and embracing new technologies, the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy is helping to lead the UAE toward a sustainable and innovative energy future.
