“Saudi Aramco is committed to supporting Vision 2030’s key aims of a diversified economy, anchored by a thriving private sector. Our strategic intent to become the world’s leading energy and chemicals company, which includes integrating across the petroleum value chain, expanding our downstream business and doubling our refining capacity, aligns with such key national goals through the creation of new industries and business lines, increased exports and quality jobs,” said Nasser.

“In the same way, Saudi Aramco’s technology focus on ultra-clean oil and gas and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage technologies that can turn legacy fuels into lower emission fuels, supports the Kingdom’s commitment to the Paris Agreement while also leveraging the economic power of long-term innovation.”

Nasser also said that Saudi Aramco’s efforts to increase the energy sector’s greater efficiency through localization and an emphasis on renewables likewise are growth engines for taking the economy beyond oil.
