Feedstock Study
Nine material streams — 400 TPD baseline, 300 TPD Phase Initial. Polymer waste (YANSAB 80 TPD) unique to Yanbu. High-vanadium petcoke ash from YASREF/SAMREF. Surge capacity: 500 TPD at P90.
Yanbu Industrial City
Saudi Arabia's western petrochemical hub — nine material streams including polymer rejects from YANSAB and high-vanadium petcoke ash from YASREF 400K bpd refinery. Surge-rated for refinery turnaround cycles.

Yanbu Unique: Polymer Waste Stream
YANSAB (4M tpy petrochemical complex, SABIC 51%) generates 80 TPD of polymer production waste — HDPE, LLDPE, PP rejects and off-specification outputs. This stream, absent from all other KSA regions, converts to RC3–RC4 carbon materials (Carbon Fiber Precursor, High-Purity Graphite, Aromatics). SABIC is the natural in-country off-take buyer for polymer-derived outputs.

EXOGENESIS PROTOCOL · LEGACY LANDFILL REMEDIATION
Urban Mining — Near-Zero by Design
"The Exogenesis Protocol for Urban Mining — Carbotura's Near-Zero Emissions, Near-Zero Waste, Near-Zero Discharge approach to legacy landfill recovery. Operating under a sealed, advancing membrane enclosure with point-of-excavation gas capture via the Atmospheric Protection System (APS) and a fully electric, remotely operated excavation fleet. No personnel enter the enclosure under any operational condition."
- $50 USD (SAR 187.50) / tonneExogenesis Royalty paid to the Authority on every legacy tonne processed through the ACM facility.
- 40,000–81,000 m²Advancing membrane enclosure footprint per unit; advances across the mine face as excavation proceeds.
