KSA’s Bena Steel + UK’s Alderley ink agreement to localize clean energy supply chains

Saudi’s Bena Steel + UK’s Alderley to contribute to KSA’s clean energy transition: Saudi-based steel manufacturer Bena Steel Industries and UK end-to-end energy solutions firm Alderley have signed an MoU to establish supply chains in Saudi Arabia for clean energy technologies including hydrogen, according to a disclosure published on Tadawul yesterday. Details are scant, but Bena says it will cooperate with the UK firm to establish energy sector-related solutions to boost the kingdom’s green energy capacity. The UK firm — which has branches in KSA and the UAE — provides, among other power industry-related services, metering solutions for hydrogen, ammonia, biogas, and flare gas projects in both countries, according to its website. The financials and timeline for the planned projects have not been provided.
