Saudi Posts: A Year End Review
Posts featuring Saudi Arabia and/or Aramco have been some of the most popular
since the Desulfurization
Blog (www.desulf.blogspot.com/)
began eight years ago. So, as 2017 gasps
its final breaths, here is a list of every post having anything to do with
Saudi Arabia.
TIP: If Saudi Arabia, and/or Aramco, is a subject that interests you, set up a Google Scholar alert. OR … you can follow the Desulfurization Blog!
NOTE: Several posts have highlighted Saudi conferences which have come and gone. Google® the conferences to see if and when the next one will occur.

Let’s
say you’re interested in recent published results of Saudi Aramco’s
desulfurization activities. But you’re interested in substance, not news.
Here is something you can do to improve your online research results.

Saudi Aramco's International Talent
Quest
|
Conducting
research is important. That’s obvious. Also obvious … we need people to
conduct research, and the people who conduct research need to make a living.

Conference Alert: Saudi China Oil
Refinery Forum
|
Here
is a conference you’ve probably never heard of. I hadn’t, until, searching for recent
technical articles on catalysis in the petroleum industry, I stumbled across
a paper delivered at the 2nd Saudi China Oil Refinery Forum 2014 Oct 6-8
Qingdao, China.

Expert Alert: King Saud University
Distinguished Scientist Fellowship Program
|
Despite
the bad press that Saudi Arabia gets, the country actually has a number of
interesting programs. One of them is the King Saud University Distinguished
Scientist Fellowship Program.

|
Leave It to the Professionals: Aramco’s
Professional Development Program
|
A
little known fact, in the West, at least, is that Saudi Aramco has been
developing talent for over a decade, using a set of structured programs. This development effort is producing
impressive results.

Getting to Saudi Conferences … Important
Stuff to Know
|
If
you decide to attend a conference in Saudi Arabia (see previous post: Saudi
Conferences), you need to know about getting into the country. The first
thing you need to know is … it’s complicated.

Saudi
Aramco, by some accounts the world’s largest oil company, also invests in
startup technology firms. Aramco
Ventures (https://aramcoventures.com/) lists the companies it has invested
in. Most are in the upstream part of
the oil industry, but its portfolio includes a number of downstream ventures
as well.

The Clean Hydrogen Economy and Saudi Arabia (2024)
The Clean Hydrogen Economy and Saudi Arabia (2024)
Whether you are an engineer in the energy industry, or an environmental policy
wonk, “The Clean Hydrogen Economy and Saudi Arabia”
is worth a look.
This 800+ page report, produced by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (https://www.fraunhofer.de/en.html )
and published by Routledge (https://www.routledge.com/
) in 2024 is an open access document, downloadable in PDF form.
Although the open access edition is available for free, it is not easy to wend
one’s way to the download link.
Because the Desulfurization Blog focuses on tips and tricks to make your online
research more effective, I have provided details below on the journey from an
email notice of the publication to the full text of the publication itself.
///////
I have created a number of Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/
) alerts. One of them is simply a search for anything Aramco
…
Google Scholar Alert: aramco
One of the items listed in a recent alert referenced "Saudi Arabia's Clean
Hydrogen Journey"
Clicking the link took me to a PDF of Chapter 2 of an unnamed book. The chapter
gave no clue as to the name of the book. I was interested enough to want to see
the whole book, or at least to find out the name and date of the book. I
noticed in the address bar that "fraunhofer" was part of the URL.
Googling Fraunhofer
Saudi Arabia's Clean Hydrogen Journey resulted in a link to ...
Fraunhofer-Publica
https://publica.fraunhofer.de › entities
› publication
This chapter introduces Saudi Arabia's past, present, and future energy
governance in terms of the stakeholders, policies, and socioeconomic
development ...
Clicking on the link resulted in a Fraunhofer page. At the top of the page was
a link labeled FULL. Clicking on FULL resulted in what I was looking for,
namely, the title of the book, “The Clean Hydrogen
Economy and Saudi Arabia”, as well as the date and other useful
information. It also included a link to publisher Routledge.
The Routledge page includes, at the top, a search
box. On a whim, I entered the title of the book ...
The Clean Hydrogen Economy and Saudi
Arabia
The resulting Routledge page included a listing of several titles, including
the one I was searching for.
The listing included a link to yet another page, offering more details on the
title, including price, etc. AND, as an unexpected BONUS, a link to the OPEN ACCESS version of the book, which includes, at
last, a link labeled DOWNLOAD. Clicking the DOWNLOAD link downloaded the PDF
version of the book to my computer.
Whew! That was quite a workout.
The moral of this story … sometimes following the breadcrumbs all the way to
the end is worth the effort.
And, to save you the effort, here is the link to the PDF version of The Clean Hydrogen Economy and Saudi Arabia.
