ADNOC launched a global competition to find innovations that will reshape the global energy landscape.
The Decarbonisation Technology Challenge was supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS), bp, Hub71, and NZTC.
The competition was launched at UAE Climate Tech Forum in Abu Dhabi, where over 1,000 global policy makers, innovators, and industrial leaders met to drive technological solutions for decarbonisation.
The ADNOC Decarbonisation Technology Challenge drew 650 applicants from across 50 countries. Applicants specialised in innovations including digital applications, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), new energies, oil and gas emissions reduction and advanced materials for decarbonisation, and nature-based solutions
ADNOC awarded a million-dollar piloting opportunity to Revterra, a Houston-based producer of novel batteries made from recycled steel. Revterra was selected from among 10 finalists at an event in Dubai. As well as receiving up to $1 million (AED 3.67 million) in piloting opportunities, they will gain access to facilities and expertise at the state-of-the-art ADNOC Research and Innovation Centre in Abu Dhabi.
