The Group also announced its plans to supply Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to Dubai Airports in 2024 in line with its long-term strategy and is currently exploring the possibility of producing SAF within and outside the UAE. As part of its international expansion plans, Enoc aims to increase sales volume globally in addition to potential acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and greenfield projects.
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of Enoc, said, “With strong demand for air travel driving global passenger volume, the aviation sector remains a key driver to the UAE’s economic growth. As a leading integrated global energy player, Enoc Group is committed to meeting the growing demand for jet fuel locally and internationally. Additionally, as decarbonisation of the aviation sector is a top priority, Enoc Group is working closely with strategic partners to secure and blend sustainable aviation fuel, which will not only help secure this fuel for the future but also support the nation to achieve its net zero ambition.”
Headquartered in the UAE, Enoc Group provides more than 40% of Dubai International Airport’s jet fuel requirements through its two pipelines linking its storage terminals in Jebel Ali to the airport. Last year, the Group also announced the completion of its 16.2 km jet fuel pipeline linking its Horizon Emirates Jebel Ali Petroleum (HEJP) storage terminal in Jebel Ali to Al Maktoum International Airport.
The pipeline carrying 2,000 cubic metres per hour of jet fuel to Al Maktoum International Airport is expected to meet the demand for jet fuel at Dubai Airports up until 2050.
