據阿拉伯貿易網2022年12月6日達蘭報道，沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司（沙特阿美）總裁兼首席執行官阿敏· 納賽爾在一次化工行業領導者會議上表示，如果沒有相應的原材料轉型，全球能源轉型就不會發生。

納賽爾是在利雅得舉行的海灣石化和化學品協會論壇上發表上述講話的。此次論壇由沙特阿拉伯能源大臣薩勒曼主持開幕。出席會議的還有與會國部長、官員和行業高管，其中包括沙特阿美化工副總裁奧利維爾·托雷爾。  

這次備受矚目的論壇講述了化工行業如何必須加速其創新和技術計劃，以最大限度地開發和滲透先進的可持續原材料。 

納賽爾在論壇上闡述了他對可行的原材料轉型的愿景(以及這為化學工業帶來的機遇)，解釋了為什么迫切需要實現全球凈零排放目標，并分享了三方面的行動呼吁。

首先，化工行業需要加強和加快創新努力，大規模開發更耐用、更可持續的原材料，同時降低成本。  

其次，在沙特阿拉伯建立一個先進的原材料中心，可以加強和補充現有項目，并通過全球合作推動創新的邊界。

最后，能源危機正迫使許多化工公司削減業務或關閉，尤其是在歐洲。

他說：“海灣地區有豐富的燃料和原料，以及廣泛的配套基礎設施，對海外化工公司來說，在這里投資的吸引力從未像現在這樣大。”

Energy transition needs materials transition: Aramco CEO

Aramco President and CEO Amin H Nasser has told a gathering of chemicals industry leaders that the global energy transition will not happen without a corresponding materials transition.

He made his remarks at the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association Forum in Riyadh, which was inaugurated by HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Minister of Energy, Saudi Arabia. Also in attendance were ministers, officials and senior industry executives including Olivier Thorel, Aramco Vice President of Chemicals.

The high-profile event heard how the chemicals industry must accelerate its innovation and technology programmes to maximise the development and penetration of advanced sustainable materials.

Setting out his vision for a viable materials transition (and the opportunities this presents for the chemical industry) Nasser explained why it is urgently needed to meet global net-zero emissions goals, and shared a threefold call to action. 

“First, the chemical industry needs to strengthen and accelerate its innovation efforts to develop more durable and more sustainable materials, at scale, while reducing their cost. 

“Second, establishing an advanced materials centre, here in the Kingdom, could strengthen and complement existing programmes and push the boundaries of innovation through global collaboration. 

“Third, the energy crisis is forcing many chemical companies to cut operations or shut down, particularly in Europe.

“With an abundance of fuels and feedstocks, and extensive range of support infrastructure, it has never been more attractive for overseas chemical companies to invest here,” he said.
