The strategic agreements aim to boost the circular economy, innovation, and energy transition, contributing to the sustainable development and technological innovation goals required by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
The first agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding with ACWA Power, involves studying, developing, and applying innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of water treatment systems. ACWA Power will focus on solutions to optimize the desalination process and reduce environmental impact.
The second agreement is with the Saudi Water Authority, the government agency that regulates and oversees the water sector in Saudi Arabia. This collaborative project involves the provision of three pilot plants: the first dedicated to increasing the efficiency of chlorine dioxide for water disinfection, the second to study the treatment of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), and the third pilot to investigate innovative solutions for the recovery of hydrogen emitted from electrochlorination systems, thus contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability.
