Partner Benefits
Jubail Industrial City — Phase Initial · Registry: registry-jubail-v3
Phase Initial
obligation
Nitaqat-labeled, ESTIMATED
MWAN 2035
SGI contribution
to RC3+ output
Zero Authority Capital Deployment
Carbotura designs, finances, builds, owns, and operates the Advanced Circular Manufacturing centre. The Partner Authority's capital obligation is zero — at Phase Initial, Phase Medium, and Phase Expanded.
Without ACM
- Ongoing disposal expenditure — no manufactured asset created
- Cost base escalating at ~2.5%/yr
- No REE recovery, no critical minerals output
- No MWAN mandate progress
- No SGI contribution
- WtE ash remains a disposal liability for Veolia JV
With ACM (Option A)
- Zero capital deployment — Carbotura capital only
- Processing Service (Ijarah) — Year 1 outflow
- Revenue Share (Musharakah) commences Month 14 — net surplus from Year 2 onward
- RC4 critical minerals manufactured from circular feedstock
- 35,000 tpy toward MWAN mandate
- 133,225 tCO₂e/yr carbon avoidance
MWAN 2035 Mandate Contribution
National Center for Waste Management (MWAN)
Target: 85% industrial diversion by 2035All nine streams — MSW residuals, ELT, wastewater sludge, WtE ash, petcoke ash, contaminated recycling, ASR, commercial waste, C&D fluff — count toward MWAN diversion targets. Phase Initial addresses 100 TPD (35,000 tpy) from the highest-access streams immediately upon COD.
Phase Roadmap — MWAN Compliance
| Phase | TPD | tpy | COD | Cumulative MWAN contribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase Initial | 100 | 35,000 | Q2 2029 | 35,000 tpy ESTIMATED |
| Phase Medium | 200 | 70,000 | Q4 2030 | 70,000 tpy |
| Phase Expanded | 300 | 105,000 | Q2 2032 | 105,000 tpy |
Saudi Arabia's Critical Minerals Strategy
Saudi Arabia's mineral wealth was revalued to SAR 9.375 trillion ($2.5 trillion) in 2025. Mining is now the third pillar of the national economy. Ma'aden's $110B investment plan requires processed REE feedstock. Carbotura ACM processing WtE ash provides it from existing waste infrastructure — no mining required, no import dependency.
Saudi Arabia currently imports 100% of its REE separation and processing capacity. ACM from Jubail WtE ash produces the Kingdom's first circular-source domestic REE output. No new mines. No import dependency. From waste that currently goes to landfill.
IKTVA Alignment
IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) is the mandatory National Content scoring program for major Saudi institutional buyers. ACM operating in RCJY territory qualifies as a Saudi-based manufacturer. Institutional buyers — Aramco, Ma'aden, SABIC — receive IKTVA credit for procuring from ACM, creating a procurement incentive independent of price.
Vision 2030 Contribution Pillars
Saudi Green Initiative (SGI)
133,225 tCO₂e/yr carbon avoidance contributes to the Kingdom's 278 million tonne SGI target. ESTIMATED
National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP)
In-Kingdom advanced manufacturing, import substitution for critical minerals, and industrial supply chain localisation at RCJY Jubail.
National Minerals Program
Saudi mineral wealth: SAR 9.375 trillion. ACM REE from ash = domestic critical minerals production without primary mining. Aligned with Ma'aden $110B buildout.
Mubadara — Circular Economy Initiative
SIRC portfolio completion: every SIRC subsidiary residual converted to RC3+ manufactured output. Jubail as the model for Kingdom-wide circular manufacturing deployment.
RCJY Industrial Hub — Phase II Development
ACM at RCJY Phase II supports the industrial city's next-generation manufacturing mandate. Feedstock from existing SIRC subsidiary network — no new logistics infrastructure required.
Renewable Energy Storage — 110 GW Program
V₂O₅ from petcoke ash feeds Aramco's VRFB supply chain for Saudi Arabia's 110 GW renewable storage target. Aramco waste product → Aramco clean energy supply chain. WARN-08

Direct FTE: Subject to Nitaqat compliance. In-Kingdom Saudization composition confirmed at Feasibility Study with HRSD (WARN-03). Roles span advanced manufacturing operations, quality control, logistics, safety, and administration.
Employment by Phase
| Phase | Direct FTE | Indirect | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase Initial (100 TPD) | 47 | 141 | 188 |
| Phase Medium (200 TPD) | 94 | 282 | 376 |
| Phase Expanded (300 TPD) | 141 | 423 | 564 |
Environmental Impact
Saudi Green Initiative alignment: 133,225 tCO₂e/yr from Phase Initial contributes toward the Kingdom's 278 million tonne SGI target. At Phase Expanded (300 TPD), annual contribution reaches 133,225 tCO₂e/yr ESTIMATED.
SIRC Portfolio Completion
The Carbotura engagement closes the manufacturing loop for the entire SIRC subsidiary network at Jubail. Every ton that leaves a SIRC subsidiary as residual becomes RC3+ manufactured output through ACM:
| SIRC Subsidiary | Current residual | ACM converts to | RevCon tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yadoum | MSW fluff → landfill | Carbon Black, High-Purity Graphite | RC2–RC3 |
| Akam | C&D fluff → landfill | Mineral Aggregate, Carbon | RC1–RC2 |
| ELECTA | ASR → landfill | Carbon Fiber Precursor, Aromatics | RC4 |
| GEMS | Industrial sludge → treatment + landfill | Pozzolanic SCM, Metals | RC2 |
| Veolia JV (feedstock supplier) | WtE ash → disposal liability | REE suite, Li carbonate, Co sulfate | RC4 |
