SAUDI ARAMCO: Developing Aramco’s energy efficiency solutions

Q: Net-Zero Operations by or before 2050

Aim to reach net-zero CO 2 eq emissions (Scope 1 and 2) for operations under their control and, as applicable, engage with joint operating partners towards net-zero CO 2 eq emissions (Scope 1 and 2), by or before 2050.

THE CHALLENGE

To reduce upstream and methane carbon intensities to be among the lowest in the world.

THE SOLUTION

Aramco has implemented multiple measures to attain an upstream carbon intensity of 9.6 kg CO₂e / boe in 2023, including best-in-class reservoir management practices, flare minimization, GHG emissions management and the methane LDAR.

These measures are complemented by Aramco’s investments in infrastructure, along with its continuous development and deployment of digital solutions to monitor, manage, and reduce its energy intensity and flaring emissions that sets the company apart from most producers.

Among the company’s infrastructure projects is its investment in cogeneration facilities which has contributed to significant improvements in energy efficiency.

Aramco installed 17 cogeneration facilities for high-efficiency energy generation. The Cogen project achieved a total high-efficiency power output of 5.3 Gigawatt (GW) and exported surplus power to the national grid. This resulted in an annual reduction of 7 million tons of CO₂ and as a result, lowered energy intensity by 23% between 2011 and 2022.
