Part of the total captured and highly-purified gas will be transformed into a food-grade quality
Part of the total captured and highly-purified gas will be transformed into a food-grade quality with a volume of 300 metric tonnes per day.
Petro Rabigh will receive it via a pipeline for its internal processes. The leftover CO2 will be sent to industrial end-users in liquid form, replacing fossil fuel-burning facilities and contributing to a more ecologically responsible economy. In return, the captured and purified CO2 emissions are used as a valuable resource in the oil and gas, desalination, food and beverage, cement, and agriculture industries for food-grade gas applications.
The project will begin in August 2022 and will be completed in Q3 2023.
