Saudi oil giant Aramco on Monday announced a partnership with Siemens Energy AG to develop a small-scale direct air-capture "test unit" in an attempt to manage emissions. The test unit will be built in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and finished in 2024, according to a statement from Aramco on Monday. The DAC collaboration between Aramco and Siemens Energy is still in early phases. Given DAC's adolescence, both oil companies are invested in other clean energy technology projects. The spokesperson for Siemens Energy said that the company has invested in hydrogen, wind, nuclear fusion and others.
