The Company announced today that it has established Brooge Renewable Energy Ltd (“BRE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Brooge Energy to focus on green energy related infrastructures activities that are intended to accommodate the necessary energy transfer from fossil fuels into energy produced from renewable resources as the private sector and regulators are increasingly focusing on combatting the harmful effects of climate change.
Commenting on this new business, Mr. Nicolaas Paardenkooper, Chief Executive Officer of Brooge Energy, stated, “Global demand for clean energy sources has been strong and is expected to accelerate in the coming years. A decade ago, the Company undertook the initiative to become more environmentally friendly. As a result, Brooge Energy is at the forefront of the clean energy movement having already built one of the most environmentally friendly storage facility in the world, including being among the lowest waste producers in its industry from its terminal as well as being fully compliant with local and international guidelines in respect to emissions. Its facilities are also equipped with solar panels and are reliant on clean power for its energy sources. This latest initiative has us well-positioned to continue to build value for shareholders.”
As a first step in BRE’s planned Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plant in Kizad, Abu Dhabi that is targeted to produce up to 300,000 MT green Ammonia per annum once fully completed, BRE has signed a preliminary land lease agreement for a 150,000 square meter plot with “KIZAD” that will host this plant on a land plot with good access to the sea allowing for export of the produced products to its offtakers.
Mr. Paardenkooper added, “This new facility is a significant milestone for the Company’s clean energy strategy. We are entering into this market segment that has excellent growth potential. Shifting power generation to renewable sources is a key pillar of global efforts to reach carbon neutrality and we believe green hydrogen, which has significantly lower carbon emissions than grey hydrogen, is a key part of this process. We are proud to be one of the first companies in the UAE that has announced that it will be constructing and operating this type of infrastructure that will be solely powered by renewable resources. Our teams and their advisors have worked diligently on this project, and we look forward to its successful completion.”
