Refining & Chemicals
In Saudi Arabia, we are shareholders in the SATORP joint venture alongside Aramco. SATORP operates one of the world's largest refining-petrochemical platforms in Jubail. In 2022, SATORP's refinery received international ISCC+ certification, which recognizes the circular and sustainable nature of its feedstocks and products.
We are also developing the Amiral petrochemical project, in partnership with Aramco: a world-scale steam cracker (1.65 Mt/year of ethylene) and its associated petrochemical units, integrated into the SATORP platform.
Oil and biofuels
In 2023, we produced Middle East's first ISCC+ certified Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by coprocessing used cooking oil on the SATORP platform.
Together with Aramco and the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), we are evaluating the possibility of building a SAF production unit using local residues from the circular economy, in synergy with SATORP.
