Saudi Aramco inked three MoUs with US companies to develop lower-carbon energy solutions <\/strong>on the sidelines of US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm visit to Saudi<\/a>, according to a statement<\/a> released on Friday. The agreements come under Aramco\u2019s efforts to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and \u201cbuild a lower-carbon new energy business.\u201d <\/p>\n

First, emissions and energy efficiency: <\/strong>Aramco signed an agreement with climate tech company Aeroseal<\/a> to deploy its technology to expand Aramco\u2019s fleet and commercialize the technology in novel applications like gas pipelines and localize Aeroseal\u2019s supply chain at home. Aeroseal specializes in reducing emissions and energy efficiency, according to their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, carbon capture: <\/strong>The oil giant also inked an agreement with direct air capture startup Spiritus<\/a><\/strong> to explore potential investments in direct air capture to help address challenges related to the implementation of the technology due to its high costs. <\/p>\n

Third, batteries: <\/strong>Aramco also signed an agreement with Bill Gates-funded startup Rondo Energy<\/a> to explore using the startup\u2019s heat batteries in Aramco\u2019s facilities overseas to slash costs and lower emissions. Aramco and Rondo began engineering studies for the first industrial scale deployment of the batteries that could reduce emissions from Aramco\u2019s plants \u201cwith subsequent scale up to 1 GWh.\u201d<\/p>\n

What they said<\/strong>: \u201cInnovative technologies deployed at scale can help reduce the costs of reducing carbon emissions, and we are investing in developing these through our R&D, venture capital, and technology deployment programs.\u201d Aramco\u2019s Senior Vice President of Technology, Oversight & Coordination Ali Al Meshari said.<\/p>\n

It was busy for Granholm: <\/strong>The US energy official signed an energy cooperation roadmap<\/a> with Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman last week. The roadmap outlines a timeline for cooperation in \u201ccritical projects\u201d in electricity and renewables, green hydrogen, energy efficiency and others. <\/p>\n

Aramco is <\/strong>upping<\/strong> its decarbonization efforts: <\/strong>Aramco's USD 4 bn venture capital arm Aramco Ventures participated in a USD 80 mn funding round<\/a> for US-based climate tech company CarbonCapture, marking one of the largest investments into the technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
