Global sustainable tech solutions provider KBR has secured a contract with Fikrat Al-Tadweer to deploy its PureMSM green methanol technology at a pioneering biomethanol plant in Saudi Arabia, a project aimed at converting landfill gas into clean fuels. 

The contract marks a significant step in Saudi Arabia’s efforts to curb landfill-gas emissions while scaling sustainable fuel production. KBR’s PureM solution is designed for commercial-scale deployment and low-cost renewable methanol production, with the flexibility to process multiple feedstocks including biogas, gasification-derived syngas, hydrogen and pure CO₂. 

Under the agreement, KBR will deliver technology licensing, proprietary engineering design, catalyst, and specialized equipment for the facility. 

“We are proud to support Fikrat Al-Tadweer in its groundbreaking biomethanol project, which aligns with Saudi Arabia’s national policy on eliminating landfill gas emissions and creating sustainable fuels,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “This collaboration underscores KBR’s commitment to enabling global energy security and supporting the Kingdom’s vision for a cleaner, greener future.” 

With more than five decades of experience, KBR has established itself as a leader in sustainable process technology development, commercialization, and plant design, positioning the company at the center of the global transition toward lower-carbon fuels.
