Industrial, medical, and specialty gases providers Gulf Cryo and Petro Rabigh have announced the inauguration of a new carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) facility located in the Kingdom’s Western Region.
The result of a 20-year strategic partnership, the project is believed to be the first carbon capture plant in Saudi Arabia’s western region dedicated to the merchant market and the second in the Kingdom.
