Saudi’s KAUST, ENOWA and SEC Signs MOU to build cryogenic capture technology Project at Duba

In what will be one of the largest demonstrations of cryogenic carbon capture technology today, a pilot project between King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), ENOWA, NEOM’s Energy & Water company, and the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) is expected to capture 30 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day from SEC’s Green Duba Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) power plant at NEOM.

In an official ceremony at the Saudi Green Initiative Forum 2022 during COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, with His Royal Highness Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman Al Saud officiating, the signing of two significant documents puts years of dedicated research and development into practice, and underscores the commitment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to move from “ambition to action” with its climate action plans.

Peter Terium, CEO of ENOWA, said, “Since its launch in March this year, ENOWA has achieved significant milestones as it seizes the full potential of renewable energy and advances decarbonization efforts. We are delighted to be partnering with KAUST as we both strive to advance science and technology through bold and collaborative research and education, addressing national and global challenges. Together, we can bring fresh thinking and new energy solutions essential
