Jubail DAC

Climeworks and Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) will evaluate the next steps towards developing a direct air capture demonstration plant, laying the groundwork for commercial-scale deployment. This includes jointly assessing low-carbon heat and energy sources, evaluating suitable sites, and coordinating with stakeholders on permitting and regulatory requirements. Climeworks and RCJY will also explore pathways to reduce the cost of large‑scale direct air capture, leveraging Climeworks’ next‑generation technology advancements. Climeworks’ mobile test facility has been operating at the Jubail Industrial College during the end of 2025 and will continue collecting real‑time data that confirms strong performance in the city’s coastal climate. This follows earlier testing in Riyadh, where the technology also performed effectively in arid desert conditions.
