RIYADH: The imminent initial public offering (IPO) of Saudi Aramco will come at a time of the Kingdom鈥檚 choosing, Energy Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman told delegates at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) in Riyadh.
鈥淭he Aramco IPO will come soon, at the right time, the right opportunity and the right decision, but it will be a Saudi decision, and specifically Prince Mohammed鈥檚 decision,鈥� he said, referring to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Banking sources at the FII believe that the IPO could be launched within days, ahead of a listing on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) in early December.
The minister鈥檚 comments came at an FII session on the future of energy, at which he also launched a campaign to develop a 鈥渃ircular carbon economy鈥� for sustainable growth in the Kingdom and the world.
He told delegates at the FII that 抖阴短视频, because of its prominent role in the global energy industry, has an important role to play in finding a solution to the issue of sustainable economic growth, which has come to the fore due to the climate change debate.
鈥淐onsidering our pivotal role, it鈥檚 our responsibility to find solutions through innovation and collaboration to create a sustainable framework for growth,鈥� he said.
鈥淎 holistic and pragmatic approach is needed to achieve more sustainability in the economic system.鈥�
The circular carbon economy that the world should adopt was based on a new approach to fossil fuel emissions and greenhouse gasses in which the rules of the 鈥�4Rs鈥� would apply: Reduce, reuse, recycle and remove.
鈥淪uch a closed-loop system, much like what happens in nature, will help restore the balance of the carbon cycle,鈥� the minister said.
鈥淚t offers a new way of addressing the challenges of sustainable development that implicitly values all options and encourages all efforts to mitigate carbon accumulation in the atmosphere, while also facilitating global economic growth,鈥� he added.
鈥淎doption of this holistic model is vital because, as important as renewables are, and as much progress as they鈥檝e made in recent years, most analyzes suggest the world can鈥檛 achieve a balance between 鈥榮ources and sinks鈥� through renewables and reduction alone,鈥� he said.
鈥淢uch of the world鈥檚 energy is consumed in sectors that are hard to decarbonize, such as heat, industrial processes and transport. So achieving a carbon balance will inevitably include fossil fuels. However, their carbon emissions must be managed.鈥�
Several energy initiatives in the Kingdom are underway as part of the circular carbon economy, the minister said.
The energy efficiency program in buildings and the petrochemicals industry, as well as improving vehicle efficiency and energy pricing reforms, are examples of the Kingdom鈥檚 new approach to energy.
There are also plans to advance Saudi carbon capture plans. The Kingdom currently operates the largest carbon capture and utilization plant in the world, turning half a million tons of CO2 annually into products such as fertilizers and methanol.
鈥淲e believe that nature-based solutions will play an important role in removing carbon as part of the circular carbon economy,鈥� the minister said.
鈥淩ecognizing this, we鈥檙e taking actions to achieve these goals, including expanding our mangrove forests and plantations, seagrass meadows and coral reefs in both the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf.鈥�
The Saudi initiative won the support of several of the high-profile panelists at the FII, including US Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Andrew Liveris, an adviser to the Kingdom鈥檚 Public Investment Fund.
Perry said his home state of Texas had made big investments in wind power and natural gas as ways to reduce carbon emissions.
Liveris said: 鈥淲e should see sustainability and the circular economy as a business opportunity.鈥�
