Adnoc awards $1m piloting opportunity to Revterra
, December 10, 2023
Adnoc has awarded $1 million (AED3.67 million) piloting opportunity to Revterra, a Houston-based producer of novel batteries made from recycled steel. The award follows a global competition by Adnoc, in collaboration with AWS, bp, Hub71, and the Net Zero Technology Centre, to find emerging climate tech innovations ready for scale.
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.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, Adnoc Executive Director for Low Carbon Solutions and International Growth said: “Adnoc is leveraging partnerships and innovative climate technologies to accelerate our decarbonisation goals and responsibly enable the energy transition. The Adnoc Decarbonisation Technology Challenge supports this objective, and we congratulate Revterra for emerging victorious amongst very competitive submissions from around the world. We look forward to working with Revterra to unlock cutting-edge solutions that will enhance efficiencies and continue decarbonising our operations.”
Revterra was selected from among 10 finalists at an event in Dubai. As well as receiving up to $1 million (AED3.67 million) in piloting opportunities, they will gain access to facilities and expertise at the state-of-the-art Adnoc Research and Innovation Center in Abu Dhabi.
Patrick Flam, Chief Financial Officer, Revterra, said: “We are thrilled to win this opportunity. At Revterra, we have developed an environmentally friendly battery that doesn’t rely on metals like lithium, nickel, or cobalt. Instead, our 2MW batteries are built using recycled steel and rely on rotational energy storage technology to achieve maximum power with a minimal environmental footprint. I am excited to work with our new partners at Adnoc to further develop our solution and deploy it across Adnoc’s operations.” --OGN/TradeArabia News Service
