Vision:
To be a globally well-recognized center for interdisciplinary and transformative research in petroleum conversion and sustainability of petroleum resources.
Mission:
- Develop futuristic technologies for petroleum conversion that diversify value-chain of crude oil.
- Build infrastructure to facilitate scale-up of process technologies from ‘concept validation’ (TRL4) to ‘pilot trials’ (TRL6).
- Apply chemical sciences and engineering to solve industrial challenges using KFUPM’s infrastructure and human resources.
- Enable new business opportunities through commercialization of chemical technologies.
- Support local and regional downstream industry research, innovation and training.
