In a landmark move to bolster the UAE’s sustainability goals, the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) unveiled the Unified Gas Code during ADIPEC 2025. This pioneering regulatory framework, the first of its kind in the region, establishes standardized protocols for the gas industry, encompassing natural gas, LPG, and industrial gases. Designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability, the code aligns with global best practices and the UAE’s ambitious Net Zero 2050 targets. By fostering a transparent and consistent regulatory environment, the initiative aims to attract investor confidence and strengthen public-private collaboration. The DoE also showcased its integration of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to refine regulatory frameworks, improve governance, and ensure compliance. These efforts are part of the broader Energy and Water Efficiency Strategy 2030, which seeks to optimize Abu Dhabi’s energy system. Abdulla Al Jarwan, Chairman of the DoE, emphasized that the Unified Gas Code represents a transformative step in Abu Dhabi’s energy sector, reinforcing its role as a global leader in clean energy innovation. The code is expected to drive significant environmental and economic benefits, including annual savings of over AED100 million for residential customers and a reduction of 200,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions by 2050. This initiative underscores Abu Dhabi’s commitment to achieving a sustainable energy future and solidifies its position as a hub for energy innovation.
