This programme aims to decarbonise the industrial sector by improving energy efficiency, exploring clinker substitutes, transitioning to alternative fuels where feasible, and considering carbon capture as a long-term residual lever.
In the short term, energy efficiency improvements will be addressed through the recently launched Amiri Resolution No. 20 of 2024 regarding energy audits in large industrial facilities in Ras Al Khaimah. In parallel, the feasibility of alternative fuels, Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Sequestration (CCUS) will be explored. In the long term, cement standards will drive the adoption of SCMs, while a federal carbon pricing framework is expected to accelerate hydrogen adoption in the fuel mix and promote the deployment of CCUS technologies.
