About MERSAAD

مرصاد Mersaad

The meaning behind the name

Mersaad is an Arabic word for a place of observation, a vantage point where you watch for what is coming and act before it escalates. That is how we approach carbon. We intercept it and convert it before it does harm, and we turn it into something of lasting value.

Research collaboration

In partnership with KFUPM

MERSAAD works with the College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences at KFUPM and with Dhahran Techno Valley, one of the region's leading research and technology hubs. We have also signed a research and development agreement with KFUPM, along with IP commercialization agreements that move university CO₂ related research toward real-world use. This gives our work a foundation in one of the region's strongest applied research institutions.
