Wood completes FEED scope for Saudi AACS project
Phase one of project will capture CO₂ from Aramco gas plant facilities near Jubail on Saudi Arabia’s east coast
Scotland-based consulting and engineering firm Wood has completed the FEED scope for the first phase of Aramco’s Accelerated Carbon Capture and Sequestration (ACCS) project in Saudi Arabia, which is expected to be the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration hub once it is completed. Phase one of the project is designed to capture carbon emissions from Aramco gas plant facilities near Jubail, on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, as well as from third-party emitters. The development is expected to store as much as 6mt/yr of CO₂ from its own operations, with another 3mt/yr coming from surrounding industries. The Kingdom wants to transform Jubail and the industrial hub of Yanbu into globa
