It involves testing a novel carbon capture technology that uses freezing techniques to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and treat other pollutants from the plant&#8217;s emissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project introduces a mobile platform designed to capture up to 0.25 tonnes of CO2 per day, providing a practical model for future carbon capture applications in the power generation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEC, KAUST, and other partners aim to showcase how this technology can help reduce emissions from power plants, contributing to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s ambitious sustainability goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carbon capture process is expected to achieve up to 99% purity, and the captured CO2 will be used in various applications, further supporting the Kingdom\u2019s environmental initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEC\u2019s Acting CEO, Khalid bin Salim AlGhamdi, said that the partnership reinforces the company\u2019s commitment to technological innovation and Saudi Arabia\u2019s clean energy transition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rabigh project is part of Saudi Arabia&#8217;s broader strategy to reach net-zero emissions by 2060, as outlined in the Kingdom\u2019s Green Initiative. The research, underpinned by advanced cryogenic carbon capture technologies, is another milestone in the country&#8217;s energy transformation, positioning it as a leader in renewable energy and carbon management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project introduces a mobile platform designed to capture up to 0.25 tonnes of CO2 per day, providing a practical model for future carbon capture applications in the power generation sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1247,36,40,428,520,539],"tags":[1153,1248,1249,1057,349],"class_list":{"0":"post-1045","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-carbon-capture","8":"category-electricity","9":"category-news","10":"category-power","11":"category-projects","12":"category-sustainability","13":"tag-carbon-capture","14":"tag-kaust","15":"tag-khalid-bin-salim-alghamdi","16":"tag-saudi-electricity-company-sec","17":"tag-sec"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheeltech.com\/utilitybusinessmena\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
