OQ's Sohar complex converts Omani natural gas to methanol, then to olefins via MTO (methanol-to-olefins) using SAPO-34 zeolite catalysts. Natural gas → methanol → plastic: a non-crude route to petrochemicals.

Carbon Engineering's DAC process sprays KOH solution into air — CO2 reacts to form K2CO3, then causticization with lime (CaO) releases pure CO2 and regenerates KOH. The chemical loop that pulls carbon from sky.
