TA’ZIZ has announced the signing of long-term agreements worth $28.5 billion (AED104.6 billion) during the Make it in the Emirates forum, covering offtake, feedstock, and product sales across its growing chemicals portfolio.
The agreements span key products including methanol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene dichloride (EDC), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), caustic soda, salt, and natural gas. With durations ranging from five to 25 years, these deals ensure both stable global demand and reliable local raw material supply.
This move strengthens the UAE’s position in large-scale chemical production and supports the development of a fully integrated domestic chemicals ecosystem.
Major agreements include partnerships with ADNOC and Proman for methanol sales, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) for caustic soda, and global firms such as Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Sanmar Group, Tricon Energy, and Vinmar International for various chemical products.
Mashal Saoud Al-Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ, said the agreements mark a major step in advancing the UAE’s industrial growth. He highlighted that securing both demand and feedstock will help deliver large-scale production, strengthen supply chains, and create long-term economic value and jobs.
A key milestone includes a supply agreement with EGA for around 200,000 dry metric tons of caustic soda per year. This makes TA’ZIZ the first major domestic supplier of caustic soda for EGA’s Al Taweelah alumina refinery located in Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD).
In addition, ADNOC Gas signed a 25-year agreement valued at over $5 billion (AED18.4 billion) to supply natural gas to the TA’ZIZ methanol project.
TA’ZIZ also secured a 20-year salt supply deal with Sama Salt to support operations at its PVC complex.
These agreements are expected to strengthen local supply chains by using domestic resources and improving industrial self-sufficiency in the UAE.
The TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone is projected to produce 4.7 million tonnes per annum of chemicals once construction is completed in 2028, marking a significant boost to the country’s industrial sector.
