Since launching its pilot in 2020, the team has advanced CCC from a TRL 6 demonstration with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) in Rabigh to a fully in‑house, IP‑driven technology platform. A new validation phase is planned, followed by a first‑of‑its‑kind 30‑ton-per‑day commercial unit for SEC.

Plans are also underway for a marine‑specific prototype, aligned with International Maritime Organization (IMO) decarbonization efforts. The system’s plug‑and‑play design captures pollutants in solid form with minimal onboard space — a key advantage in maritime operations.

The University’s mission-driven approach is enabling new IP, startup pathways, and funding opportunities through the National Transformation Institute, supporting Saudi Vision 2030 and the circular carbon economy.

The unique trailer-scale system has already captured more than 95% of CO₂ in continuous industrial operation. The process produces high‑purity liquid CO₂ suitable for petrochemicals, underground injection, and advanced power cycles, while effectively separating SO₂ and nitrogen oxides.

Building on operational experience and national partnerships, the team is steering CCC toward commercial readiness — contributing to meaningful emissions reductions on the path to the Kingdom’s 2060 net‑zero goals.
