Saudi Arabia: Introduction of High Efficiency Electrolyzer in Chlorine Production Plant [Kanematsu Corporation]

“Jubail Chemical Industries Company (JANA) introduced high efficiency brine electrolyzers in their chemical plant located in Jubail, the largest industrial city in Saudi Arabia.

JANA is the sole epoxy resin manufacturer in the Middle East and African region, consuming a large amount of electricity for the production of chlorine and caustic soda, which are the raw material for epoxy resin. By replacing the existing electrolyzers to the latest model, JANA’s chemical plant has transformed into an energy efficient one.

The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) enhances projects development in Saudi Arabia, the only JCM partner country in the Middle East.
