In May 2022, the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) co-organized an event titled “Advancing the Circular Carbon Economy in Saudi Arabia.” The one-day event, which comprised a high-level event and a workshop, took stock of progress in the circular carbon economy (CCE) in the Kingdom to date and implementation plans going forward. It also sought to draw attention to the role of research in supporting planning and implementation for the CCE across the public and private sectors.
