Abstract
Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, has long been associated with the production and consumption of hydroacrbons. However, with the increasing concerns over climate change and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the country has started to explore and invest in new technologies to mitigate its carbon footprint. One such technology is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and storing them underground. In this paper, we will delve into the role of Saudi Arabia in the development, demonstration, and deployment of CCS, and explore how this technology could play a crucial role in the country’s efforts to transition towards a low-carbon economy.
