The memorandum of understanding sets the stage for potential collaborations in areas such as low-carbon fuel supply and sustainability. Aramco's executive vice president highlighted the company's efforts towards exploring lower-carbon solutions, including hydrogen and carbon capture, to support its net-zero ambitions. The partnership aligns with Riyadh Air's ambition to become a leading global airline committed to sustainability and low-carbon fuels. By leveraging Aramco's expertise, Riyadh Air aims to improve its operational capabilities and provide outstanding guest experiences. This collaboration is seen as a significant step towards advancing Saudi Arabia's environmental and economic objectives. During the conference, Aramco also announced partnerships with key entities like Taulia and Gas & Oil Pakistan to establish supply chain financing solutions and expand its downstream operations. The agreements aim to provide alternative and affordable financing sources for Aramco's suppliers, unlocking liquidity and strengthening business relationships.
