Topsoe and Aramco Collaborate on Low-Carbon Hydrogen Technology at Shaybah Plant
Key Ideas
  • Topsoe and Aramco signed a Joint Development Agreement to implement low-carbon hydrogen solutions at Shaybah Natural Gas Liquids recovery plant in Saudi Arabia.
  • The eREACT™ technology is expected to produce six tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen daily, emphasizing the potential for carbon reduction in the energy and chemical sectors.
  • The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon hydrogen technology globally by leveraging Aramco's infrastructure and Topsoe's expertise.
  • The project also showcases the innovation of combining renewable electricity and natural gas to reduce emissions, with the potential for further carbon reduction through carbon capture and storage.
Topsoe and Aramco have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to introduce low-carbon hydrogen solutions using Topsoe's eREACT™ technology at the Shaybah Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) recovery plant in Saudi Arabia. This initiative aims to produce six tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen daily, highlighting its potential impact on reducing carbon emissions in the energy and chemical sectors. The collaboration builds on their previous work to demonstrate the scalability and efficiency of the eREACT™ technology. By combining Topsoe's expertise in carbon emission reduction technologies with Aramco's resources, the partnership intends to drive the global adoption of this innovative technology. The eREACT™ technology utilizes an electrified reactor design to convert various feedstocks into low-carbon hydrogen or other chemicals and fuels, showcasing the opportunity to develop new production routes while minimizing flue gas emissions. Additionally, the project emphasizes the importance of integrating renewable electricity and natural gas to further reduce carbon emissions and explores the potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to enhance carbon reduction efforts. The successful commercialization of this technology is expected to significantly contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the energy and chemical sectors. Through this collaboration, Topsoe and Aramco aim to leverage Aramco's oil and gas infrastructure and renewable resources in Saudi Arabia to facilitate the widespread implementation of low-carbon hydrogen technology. This joint effort signifies a positive step towards developing sustainable energy solutions on a global scale.
