Sadara Chemical Company, a Joint Venture developed by Saudi Aramco & The Dow Chemical Company and Veolia Middle East SAS have inked an agreement for the construction and operation of a sustainable industrial waste to energy facility in PlasChem Park, the industrial park adjacent to the Sadara Chemical Complex. PlasChem Park is a collaborative effort between Sadara and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) in Jubail Industrial City II.

The agreement was signed in Jubail, Saudi Arabia on December 09, 2018 at the Sadara headquarters.

The industrial waste to energy facility will be developed by Veolia under a Design-Build-Own-Operate model. As part of the agreement with Sadara, Veolia will treat among others, the identified Sadara industrial waste streams and recover energy to provide steam, cooling and instrument air to the industrial park. The Sadara/Veolia agreement follows an MoU signed earlier this year and solidifies plans to provide long-term waste management solutions for Sadara.

The development of the Industrial Waste to Energy facility by Veolia is a game changer for the Jubail chemical industry, providing a local, competitive, sustainable and reliable solution for industrial waste management as well as industrial utility supply for PlasChem Park.
