Saudi Arabia Delegation Visit
Group photo from a Saudi Arabia Delegation visit to NETL on Friday, December 2.
Currently, there is a joint venture between King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST), Saudi Aramco Oil Co., and Saudi Electric Co., to support the development, operation and commercialization of an envisioned National Clean Combustion Test Platform (CCTP) to be located at KAUST. The primary focus of CCTP will be to investigate opportunity fuels and region-specific technologies within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the area of power generation.
Saudi Arabia is looking to diversify the fuel supply used to generate electric power, used in industry for heat and power, and in seawater desalination. The goal is to move away from using crude oil as a primary fuel. KAUST operates a laboratory that evaluates fuels and bench scale combustion. The CCTP will be designed to test fuels in a larger operation.
In order to move in this direction, the delegation is interested in learning about NETL’s research in chemical looping, gas turbines, burners, stationary boilers, heat recovery, how to best manage IP, and exhaust treatment to manage NOx, SOx, PM, & CO2.
