The Sadara Chemical Company, a joint venture of Saudi Aramco and The Dow Chemical Company, has signed an agreement with Veolia Middle East for the development of an industrial energy-from-waste (EfW) facility in PlasChem Park, an industrial park adjacent to the Sadara Chemical Complex.

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 a MoU signed earlier this year and solidifies plans to provide long-term waste management solutions for Sadara.

PlasChem Park is a collaborative effort between Sadara and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) in Jubail Industrial City II.
