Project to remove 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide Adnoc-Masdar joint project to be completed in 2016 Abu Dhabi: A project to remove 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually from Abu Dhabi’s atmosphere is in progress, a senior executive said. The largest project of its scale in the region — the carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) project — will start capturing carbon and injecting into oil fields for oil exploration from 2016, Arafat Al Yafei, manager CO2 and Nitrogen Development Department at Adnoc, said. What does 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent means? This is the total emission of 500,000 light bulbs of 200 W (each) lighted on for 24 hours per day during 513 days! or From 10,000 houses purchasing 10 Amperes each per month from triple phase generators (ISHTIRAK) and running for a continuous period of 487 DAYS.
