Petrochemicals Technology
Vision:
To reach a prominent strategic position internationally through a broad national sponsorship of petrochemical technology transfer, localization and development.
This vision focuses on the establishment of an effective innovation system in which research and invention lead to economic and social benefits for the Kingdom. To achieve this, it is essential to have strong and mutual linkages between universities, government organizations, and industries.
Mission:
The program’s Mission is:
To develop, transfer and localize petrochemical technologies in the Kingdom through qualified human resources and innovative methods and applications of scientific and technological research. This will support competitive local production and facilitate new investment opportunities and market, thus pursuing a robust economic base, comprehensive development and efficient use of available resources in our field..
Strategic Goals:
The strategic goals of the program are:
- To support and develop domestic capacity in critical petrochemicals and refining technologies.
- To optimize the use of abundant available natural resources.
- To support the local refining and petrochemicals industry with technology solutions that facilitate new product development, improve production efficiency, price/value efficiency, environmental protection and similar concerns.
- To develop innovative high quality petrochemical technologies and applications to meet specialized industrial and commercial needs in the Kingdom such as in oil and gas.
- To adapt and localize petrochemical technologies to support the development of national capability.
- To support societal and cultural development towards optimal exploitation of technology and transformation from a consumption to a production culture.
- To enhance the Kingdom’s competitiveness in regional manufacturing through transfer and development of advanced petrochemical technologies.
- To improve the national ranking in science and technology capabilities.
