Spanning 28 chapters the book is a first-of-its-kind analysis of the emerging global hydrogen economy from the vantage point of one of the world's biggest energy providers: Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is optimally situated geographically between the major demand markets in Europe and North Asia, from where it can leverage clean hydrogen exports as a potential tool to become a player of strategic importance and successfully diversify its economy under its Vision 2030 program.In his discussion with Richard and The 966 Rami Shabaneh provides informed analysis of the "who," "what," "where," and "why" related to clean hydrogen development within and beyond Saudi Arabia.Coincidentally, this past week NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) initiated a major recruitment campaign for its world-leading green hydrogen plant as the project moves closer to its operational phase.The $8.4 billion facility, set to be the world's largest green hydrogen production plant, is targeting full operations by the end of 2026 and aims to produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily, potentially eliminating five million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.Rami Shabaneh is the second KAPSARC expert to join The 966. In January 2022, for Episode #22, Adam Sieminski, who had just finished serving as President of KAPSARC talked renewable energy and the Circular Carbon Economy.

The hosts and guest discuss this and the forthcoming Mall of Saudi that will boast a massive indoor winter and ski complex under the heat of the Saudi sun. 8:46 - The Circular Carbon Economy in Saudi Arabia and the global energy transition.The Circular Carbon Economy concept has gained momentum in recent years as the best way for individual nations to combat climate change. It is a holistic approach that uses all the tools in the toolbox to reduce emissions. The CCE introduces a fourth "R" in the reduce, reuse, recycle framework --- and that is to "remove." This includes removal of carbon from the air - carbon capture, as well as other methods.The G20 endorsed the CCE in 2020.One of KAPSARC's many ongoing research projects is the Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) Index project, which is a tool for governments and other climate change policy stakeholders to evaluate progress in support of domestic planning and decision making in the nexus of energy, emissions, and the economy.Saudi Arabia and Aramco have now adopted the circular carbon economy framework as a way to reduce their carbon footprints.The hosts ask guest Adam Sieminski what Saudi Arabia is doing now and is planning to do to in order to achieve a fully circular carbon economy nationally. 34:49 - Renewable energy in Saudi Arabia - getting to 50% renewable energy in Saudi Arabia by 2030 and a look at solar's role in achieving that milestone.Saudi Arabia plans to generate 50% of its electricity from clean sources by 2030.After COP 26, and the Kingdom's first utilities-scale solar plant launched in June, Sakaka, the Kingdom has some momentum in this critical space. The Kingdom has 7 independent power producer schemes in the pipeline for approximately 3 GW of PV projects coming online soon.But the Kingdom's total electrical capacity right now is 70 GW, so there's a long way to go to get to Saudi Arabia's stated goal. Is the 50% goal of renewables by 2030 realistically achievable?1:01:44 - Yallah!
