Saudi Aramco signed three memorandums of understanding (MOU) with US companies Aeroseal, Spiritus and Rondo, the state-owned oil giant said on Friday.

Under the MoU the companies will develop potential lower-carbon energy solutions, Aramco's statement said.

Aramco and Aeroseal agreed to deploy Aeroseal’s technology to expand its fleet and commercialize the technology in novel applications such as gas pipelines, the statement said.

With Spiritus, Aramco has agreed to explore opportunities in direct air capture to reduce energy needs.

The statement added that Aramco and Rondo agreed to explore deployment of heat batteries in Aramco’s global facilities to reduce operating costs and cut emissions.

The MoUs were signed during the visit of US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Environment Ministry Launches Electronic Service for Agricultural Sector to Connect to Grid

The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has launched an electronic service, as part of the Liquid Fuel Displacement Program, which aims to displace up to one million barrels of liquid fuels across the agriculture, industry and utilities sectors by 2030.
The new electronic service enables targeted farm owners to register their requests to connect their agricultural holdings to the electricity grid and reduce reliance on liquid fuel, SPA reported.
The ministry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Energy, the Saudi Electricity Regulatory Authority, the Saudi Electricity Company, and the Agricultural Development Fund, aims to reduce factors affecting the sustainability of the agricultural sector in the Kingdom, and contribute to preserving the environment, in line with the goals of the Kingdom Vision 2030.
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture encourages targeted farm owners to register to connect to the grid through the electronic platform Naama.
