Countries around the world are recognizing the urgent need to accelerate global progress on carbon capture to meet the UN’s latest Climate Promise to reduce CO₂ emissions by 60% over the next ten years. Today, Gulf Cryo is proud to say we enabled the foundation for scalable carbon capture in the Middle East years before these targets were ever announced.
Our investments in green energy began in 2012, when we signed an agreement with Equate to capture 50% of emissions from its Ethylene Glycol production plants, and by October 2014 we had launched the region’s first CO₂ recovery plant dedicated for industrial use – pure, food-grade carbon straight from the source. Overcoming a nascent market, we built demand through raising awareness, education, participation in UN workshops, and partnerships, turning waste into a valuable, sustainable feedstock.
By COP27 in 2022, we secured mega-projects with Petro Rabigh and Ma’aden, each designed to capture hundreds of thousands of metric tons annually. These milestones underline our role as the region’s decarbonization leader.
Today, Gulf Cryo has reclaimed more than one million MT of CO₂. With US $100 million dedicated to green initiatives and plans to double our current capacity to 450,000 MTPA by 2030, our journey continues fueling industry and safeguarding our planet.
By expanding our carbon capture footprint, Gulf Cryo is laying the foundation for Kuwait Vision 2035’s transformative goals: a diversified economy, a dynamic private sector and an elevated standard of living. Each new facility is more than an environmental asset, it’s a catalyst for legislative reform, infrastructure advancement and sustainable prosperity across our nation.
Kuwait’s national leadership laid a bold vision in its Kuwait Vision 2035 to dramatically strengthen its private sector, institutions, and physical infrastructure with investments totaling $100B.
Countries around the world are racing to meet the UN’s latest Climate Promise announced in June 2025 to reduce carbon emissions by 60% in the next ten years. And Gulf Cryo is proud to say we anticipated this urgency, investing in carbon capture long before the global race began.
Gulf Cryo is steering the Middle East toward a low-carbon future.
