Aramco continues to hold a 51% majority stake and retains full ownership and opera- tional control of its stabilised crude oil pipeline network. The transaction does not impose any restrictions on Aramco’s actual crude oil production volumes. Ar- amco President & CEO, Amin H. Nasser, said: “It is a significant milestone that reflects the value of our assets and paves the way forward for our portfolio opti- mization strategy. We plan to continue to explore opportunities to capitalize on our industry-leading capabilities and attract the right type of invest- ment to Saudi Arabia.” Aramco closes infrastructure deal with global investor consortium $12.4bn The consortium has acquired a 49% stake in Aramco Oil Pipelines Company for $12.4bn TA’ZIZ and Fertiglobe have signed an agree- ment for Fertiglobe to join the world-scale blue ammonia production project at TA’ZIZ in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. The agreement further strengthens the UAE’s hydrogen value proposi- tion, building on the deep experience in carbon capture and storage of ADNOC, and the world- leading ammonia capabilities of Fertiglobe, to develop the fi rst-of-its-kind large-scale blue ammonia project in the MENA region. The project benefi ts from its location in the purpose-built TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone, adjacent to the Ruwais Industrial Com- plex, which will supply the project with attrac- tive hydrogen and nitrogen feedstocks. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals. Since launching in 2020, TA’ZIZ has attract- ed signifi cant interest from local and interna- tional investors. This agreement marks the fi rst international investor to partner with TA’ZIZ, with further announcements for other TA’ZIZ projects expected shortly. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE minister of industry and advanced tech- nology and ADNOC man- aging director and group CEO, said: “This is a signifi cant milestone in the development of our blue hydrogen and ammonia business and capitalises on the strong foundation that AD- NOC has developed with Fertiglobe. We believe hydrogen and its carrier fuels, such as ammo- nia, off er strong potential as low-carbon energy sources... As we continue to grow our manufac- turing base in Ruwais, the UAE is well-placed to meet increasing global demand for this new fuel while strengthening our position as a world- scale chemicals and industrial hub and top des- tination for local and international investment.” Exceptional investor interest marks the fi rst international investor agreement for TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemical Zone.

That was the message from Yousef A Al- Benyan, vice chairman and CEO of SABIC and chairman of GPCA, as he addressed the inaugural GPCA Leaders’ Forum in Dubai. The forum brought together regional and global chemical leaders to share success- ful leadership strategies that have enabled companies to overcome the challenges of the pandemic and discussed the approach needed to foster a sustainable recovery for the industry. In his remarks, Al-Benyan drew on the theme of the forum conference, In Pursuit of Resurgent Growth during Turbulent Times, as he urged the industry to shape a new real- ity by seizing the opportunity for change. “We have long stressed the need for dy- namic transformation in our industry and the pandemic has shone a spotlight on the The GPCA Leaders’ Forum is an exclusive platform for industry profes- sionals to connect and share strategy on progress and development within the chemical industry Now is the time to shape a new future for the chemicals industry, says SABIC CEO during GPCA Leaders’ Forum NEWSMAKER Motiva Enterprises announced that it has executed a long-term supply agreement with Aramco base oil affiliate S-Oil Cor- poration that will more than double Mo- tiva’s current offer for Group III base oil in North America. As per the agreement, Motiva will as- sume all North American marketing, sales, and distribution of Group III base oils produced by S-Oil. Phillips 66 Com- pany was previously the exclusive distrib- utor for S-Oil ULTRA-S Group III base oils in North America. Motiva Base Oils Director Colleen Mur- phy-Smith said the new supply agreement represents a huge milestone for Motiva, which already operates the largest base oils refinery in the Western Hemisphere. “The agreement solidifies Motiva as the face of Aramco base oils sales in the Americas, advancing a brand strat- egy that all Aramco-produced base oils are marketed exclusively by affiliates,” said Murphy-Smith. “The deal enhances Motiva’s existing product portfolio and allows us to offer our customers even greater value.” ENOC Group renews 25-year partnership with dnata successes of early adopters who moved ahead of time. But it also ex- posed the limi- tations of those who hesitated. The post-pan- demic reality requires us to fundamentally change how we think about growth, innovation, and our op- erating models.” Al-Benyan added: “We can see that many forward-looking strategies adopted by GCC players have borne fruits, but there is still much more to do. Now is the time to drive the transition from a survival mind-set to one that allows us to build, grow and thrive in the long-term. We cannot delay the evolu- tion and reimagination of our industry.” Yousef A Al-Benyan, vice chairman and CEO of SABIC and chairman of GPCA, as he addressed the inaugural GPCA Leaders’ Forum in Dubai.

However, with CO2 targets becoming increasingly stringent, and some sectors be- ing diffi cult to electrify, alternative fuels are likely to be needed over the coming years. While growth potential for conventional and fi rst generation biofuels may be limited, demand for other types of alternative fuels looks set to grow over the coming decade. For example, renewable diesel, also known as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), can act as a drop-in replacement for fossil-based diesel and so is not restricted to a blend limit in the same way as conventional biodiesel. Furthermore, renewable diesel can be produced from waste products such as used cooking oil, potentially off ering substantial emissions savings over the use of fossil fuels, which in turn increases the value credits and incentives off ered to producers and blenders, especially in Europe and the USA. NEWS IN QUOTES THE BIG PICTURE IDTechEx predicts growth for some renewable fuels As such, there has been considerable recent interest in increasing the amount of renewable diesel produced. Plans for new renewable diesel capacity are particu- larly signifi cant in the USA, which IDTechEx expects to hold over 60% of produc- tion capacity by 2024, as forecast in the recent report ‘Sustainable Alternative Fu- els 2021-2031’, up from under 40% in 2020. However, supplies of waste feedstocks are not limitless and the production of renewable diesel also relies on virgin material, including problematic feedstocks such as palm oil, where the impact of land-use can greatly reduce environmental benefi t. To mitigate against the use of problematic feedstocks, some companies are seeking to utilise municipal waste and forestry residues through the use of hydrothermal liquefaction, or gasifi cation, though the vast majority of renewable diesel production is still expected to be based on hydrotreating. Similar alterna- tive feedstocks can be used to produce sus- tainable aviation fuels (SAF), by combining gasifi cation and the Fischer-Tropsch process, or through the fermentation of alcohol. Still, the majority of production is set to come from a process similar to that used for producing renewable diesel, which for SAF is termed hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids synthetic paraffi nic kerosene (HEFA- SPK). IDTechEx estimates that nearly 90% of the off take agreements and capacity announcements that occurred between 2014 and 2020 were for SAF produced this way. Driven primarily by emissions reduction targets and public incentives, short- and medium-term demand for renewable diesel is forecast for growth. Beyond the next 10 years, there is greater uncertainty, especially for on-road transport applications, where there is signifi cant momentum in the shift to battery electric vehicles and where improve- ments in technology and infrastructure are set to enhance the potential of heavy-duty and freight sectors. Nevertheless, hard to abate sectors such as marine and aviation are likely to continue to rely on fuels, providing longer-term opportunities for a variety of renewable fuels, including biofuels. Here, commercial development of processes able to make use of sustainable and waste feedstocks will be important to minimise the demand for food crops, or palm oil, while policies need to ensure on-road transport is not dispropor- tionately incentivised over other sectors. Plans for new renewable diesel capacity are particularly signifi cant in the USA, which IDTechEx expects to hold over 60% of production capacity by 2024. 60% “Many of the uses of clean hydrogen – cleaner road fuels, hydrogen for trucks, sustainable aviation fuels, ammonia for shipping are already areas where we work with customers.” Dev Sanyal, EVP, gas and low carbon energy, BP Share of renewable diesel production capacity by region.

The contract is worth around $510mn overall Saipem wins contract awarded by ADNOC for the Shah Gas plant in the UAE Saipem has received a letter of award from ADNOC Sour Gas, a subsidiary of ADNOC, for a new contract related to the Optimum Shah Gas Expansion (OSGE) & Gas Gather- ing project in the UAE. The contract covers the expansion and upgrade of the existing Shah gas plant. The overall value of the con- tract is around $510mn. The EPC contract includes the engi- neering, supply of materials, construction and commissioning of additional compo- nents, designed to increase the gas treat- ment daily capacity of the Shah Gas plant by 13%, from the current production ca- pacity of 1.28 to 1.45 billion standard cu- bic feet per day, representing a cumulative increase to 145% of the original design ca- pacity of the plant. The Shah Gas plant is the largest sour gas plant in the world. Due to a higher sulphur content, the plant requires specifi c tech- nologies to ensure safety and respect for the environment. The technologies utilised will ensure, moreover, continuity of production even during maintenance work, and mini- mise downtime. Saipem has a consolidated presence in the UAE where it has already built many plants, including the design and build of the gas treat- ment units for the original construction of Shah. Maurizio Coratella, chief operating offi cer of Saipem’s Onshore E&C Division, com- mented: “The award of this new project by a key client such as ADNOC, strengthens our long-lasting presence in the UAE and is an additional recognition of our ability to carry out high-tech and complex projects in accordance with the highest safety and en- vironmental standards.
