Aramco, TotalEnergies, and SIRC Collaborate on Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plant in Saudi Arabia

SIRC

Aramco, TotalEnergies, and the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC) have joined forces to tackle carbon emissions in the aviation industry. Through a Joint Development and Cost Sharing Agreement (JDCSA), the companies aim to explore the creation of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production plant in Saudi Arabia. This initiative aligns with the Kingdom’s broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions and support the decarbonization of the aviation sector.

 

Circular Economy and SAF Production in Saudi Arabia

The planned SAF plant will be situated in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Here, the project will leverage advanced technologies to recycle organic waste, including used cooking oils and animal fats, into sustainable aviation fuel. Moreover, this initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which places a strong emphasis on sustainability and the development of a thriving circular economy. By converting waste into high-value fuel, the plant will not only address the growing demand for cleaner energy in aviation but also reduce the Kingdom’s dependence on conventional fuel imports.

 

Driving Aviation Decarbonization and Emission Reductions

Furthermore, the partnership is poised to play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the aviation industry, a critical step toward global emission reduction goals. As global air travel continues to expand, the aviation sector faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions. Amin H. Nasser, President and CEO of Aramco, highlighted the urgent need for sustainable alternatives like SAF. With this in mind, the collaboration between Aramco, TotalEnergies, and SIRC will focus on developing technologies to support the aviation industry’s transition to low-carbon fuels. This, in turn, will contribute significantly to reducing the sector’s overall carbon footprint.

 

Saudi Arabia’s Role in the Green Transition and Vision 2030

In addition, Eng. Ziad Al-Sheha, CEO of SIRC, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to advancing Saudi Arabia’s sustainability goals outlined in Vision 2030. Through this partnership, the Kingdom aims to position itself as a global leader in sustainable fuel production. By converting waste into SAF, the plant will help reduce aviation emissions both domestically and internationally. As a result, Saudi Arabia’s efforts will strengthen its position as a key player in global decarbonization initiatives.
