In Saudi Arabia, MAN Energy Solutions will supply 25 biofuel-optimized gensets with a total generating capacity of 112 MW to “The Red Sea Project”. The ambitious, regenerative tourist project – planned for Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast north of the city of Umluj – stretches over 200 km of coastline and an archipelago of more […]
In Saudi Arabia, SABIC announced a collaboration with Mattel to incorporate certified renewable polymers from SABIC’s TRUCIRCLE program across Mattel’s products offering. The first Mattel toy products to enter the market in 2022 using certified renewable SABIC PP (polypropylene) polymers will be from MEGA and Matchbox, with more to follow. Heading the initiative will be […]
In Saudi Arabia, researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology are using date waste to create filtration membranes for industrial separations. Conventional membranes are efficient, but are made from fossil-based materials and often require toxic chemicals to produce. “Date seeds are abundantly available and renewable, with approximately 90% of the world’s cultivated date […]
In Saudi Arabia, ACWA Power, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Neutral Fuels for future collaboration on the supply of its Net Zero Biofuel for Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious regenerative tourism project on the Red Sea coast. The ACWA Power-led consortium was awarded The Red Sea Development Company’s highest value contract to design, […]
In Saudi Arabia, SABIC announced together with its customers Unilever, Vinventions and Walki Group, the launch of certified circular polymers to be manufactured by SABIC and planned to be used by its customers for packaging solutions for a variety of consumer products that will be introduced into the market in 2019. The certified circular polymers […]
In Saudi Arabia, Argaam reports that Jazan Energy and Development Co. will invest $15 million to build a biodiesel plant jointly with Delante Trading Corp. The construction set to begin in Q1 2019, the 45,000 metric ton per year facility should be online by Q2 2020. Edible oils and other feedstocks are expected for use […]
In Saudi Arabia, a compound made from the glycerol by-product of biodiesel production could promote cleaner burning in vehicle engines. The potential of glycerol waste from biodiesel production to be simply converted into a clean-burning sustainable fuel is being explored by scientists at KAUST’s Clean Combustion Research Center. The researchers used computational analysis to explore […]
In Saudi Arabia, highly fuel-efficient new engine designs could significantly reduce the environmental impact of vehicles, especially if the engines run on renewable nonpetroleum-based fuels. Ensuring these unconventional fuels are compatible with next-generation engines was the aim of a new computational study on fuel ignition behavior at King Abdullah University of Science & Technology. The […]
In Saudi Arabia, switching to renewable fuels could significantly lower exhaust emissions of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) as well as curbing global greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) have combined computer analysis with laser-based NOx concentration measurements to understand NOx production pathways in different fuel types. The […]
In Saudi Arabia, Red Sea surgeonfish use metabolically diverse giant bacteria to digest different types of algae, according to new research. Not only do these findings explain the basis of surgeonfish diversity, but they may also provide a valuable genetic resource for biofuel research. An international team led by King Abdullah University of Science & […]
