Emirates Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of ENOC Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone Authority (UAQ FTZ) to become the exclusive provider of comprehensive gas solutions to businesses operating within the free zone. The agreement marks a strategic milestone in Emirates Gas’ expansion and aligns with ENOC Group’s broader vision to deliver reliable energy solutions across the UAE.
The signing ceremony took place at ENOC Group Headquarters in the presence of Sheikh Mansoor Bin Ibrahim Al Mu’alla, executive director of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation – Umm Al Quwain, and Hussain Sultan Lootah, acting group CEO at ENOC. The MoU was signed by Nader Al Fardan, General Manager of Emirates Gas, and Johnson M. George, General Manager of UAQ Free Trade Zone.
Under the agreement, Emirates Gas will provide tailored gas solutions — including centralised systems, tank installations, product supply in bulk and cylinders, as well as technical and consultancy services. Each solution will be based on detailed technical and financial evaluations, coupled with rigorous safety assessments.
Partnership
The partnership establishes a framework for ongoing collaboration between the two entities and is expected to serve as a model for similar agreements with other free zones and industrial areas across the country. By formalising an exclusive arrangement, the MoU underscores the value of integrated gas supply solutions in supporting economic growth and operational efficiency.
“We are pleased to collaborate with the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone Authority to expand our offerings to better serve customers in the free zone,” said Hussain Sultan Lootah, acting CEO of ENOC Group. “By providing comprehensive gas solutions exclusively to businesses within the free zone, we are catering to their needs and reaffirming our commitment to delivering reliable energy solutions in the Emirate. Additionally, this partnership aligns with our strategic objectives, adding value to both entities while further supporting the country’s economic development.”
Johnson M. George, general manager of UAQ Free Trade Zone Authority, added: “At UAQ Free Trade Zone, our priority has always been to empower our investors with the right infrastructure, the right partners, and the confidence to grow. This partnership with Emirates Gas, an industry leader known for safety, reliability, and professional excellence, is a strategic move to ensure our businesses have access to world-class solutions.”
Emirates Gas continues to lead the UAE’s energy sector through innovation and a commitment to sustainability. Among its recent developments are LPG Composite Cylinders, designed with lightweight composite materials and a translucent body to enhance safety and ease of use. This product innovation, combined with strategic partnerships like the UAQ FTZ collaboration, strengthens Emirates Gas’ position as a preferred energy solutions provider for industrial and commercial customers across the region.
