Aramco’s work to decarbonize transportation and develop new technologies ‘generating significant interest.’

Representatives from Aramco R&D talk about their research with leaders from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Leaders from Gulfstream Aerospace and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently visited the Detroit Research Center to learn about Aramco’s innovative work to decarbonize transportation and develop new technologies to address energy challenges.

They were shown our technologies for near-zero pollutant emissions, mobile carbon capture, and low climate impact fuels.

“Aramco’s innovative research to address big challenges is generating significant interest among people who are interested in forging partnerships with us to propel new technologies forward,” Mohammad N. AlAskar, director of U.S. R&D, said about the visits facilitated by the office of the chairman.

Exhibits included Aramco’s commercial engine technology that can lower NOx pollutant emissions by more than 90% to meet future global regulatory requirements, a gasoline compression ignition engine that nearly doubles fuel economy for larger SUVs and light trucks, the Dilute Boost and Turbulent-Jet Ignition nearer term technologies that offer 9% to 14% lower CO₂ emissions, Aramco’s hydrogen internal combustion engine, and the company’s Class 8 long-haul truck that lowers CO₂ emissions 42% by using capture technology that is now being developed for vessels.

“The advancements we are making in Detroit come from important strategic partnerships with OEMs and collaboration with our colleagues in Aramco’s global network of research centers,” said David J. Cleary, director of the Detroit Research Center.

Gulfstream leaders included president Mark Burns and Charles Etter, lead for environmental strategy and regulatory affairs.
