Aramco, one of the world''s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, has achieved a world-first by successfully commissioning a megawatt (MW)-scale renewable energy storage system to power gas production activities.
The modular nature of the battery system makes it more affordable to maintain, and it is equipped to provide long-term energy independence with minimal capacity loss.
Dhahran, May 22 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — Saudi Aramco has achieved a global first by successfully operating a megawatt-scale renewable energy storage system using an iron-vanadium flow battery to support gas production
Aramco has successfully commissioned an Iron-Vanadium (Fe/V) flow battery on a megawatt scale, set to enhance renewable energy storage by converting solar energy into a reliable backup for its gas operations.
The battery''s reduced vanadium usage, wide temperature tolerance, and fluid-electrolyte architecture support its use in future oil and gas infrastructure. As a result, it marks a key advancement in energy storage innovation in Saudi Arabia and contributes to Vision 2030 energy transition goals.

Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) achieved a global milestone by successfully commissioning a megawatt (MW)-scale renewable energy storage system for gas production, using for the first time an iron-vanadium redox flow battery as a backup for solar-assisted power for gas well operations.
DHAHRAN, May 23, 2025 – Saudi Aramco has commissioned a megawatt-scale renewable energy storage system to power its gas production activities in western Saudi Arabia, the company announced on Thursday.
The modular nature of the battery system makes it more affordable to maintain, and it is equipped to provide long-term energy independence with minimal capacity loss.
Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures is the corporate venturing arm of Saudi Aramco. Its mission is to invest globally into start-up and high-growth companies with technologies across upstream oil & gas, downstream oil & gas and value-added products, renewables, energy efficiency, and water technologies.
As my complaint stated, Aramco is advertising crude oil, which meets no definition of being sustainable.” Last year the Guardian revealed that Saudi Aramco had produced almost 5% of all global emissions since 1965 and was on course to massively expand its oil and gas operations in the next decade.
Saudi Aramco claimed in the advert that “real sustainability doesn’t wait until tomorrow”, adding “this is real energy”. The ASA said it had received more than 60 complaints about the campaign, which appeared in print and online earlier this year. It contacted the company, which responded by saying it had withdrawn the campaign.
Aramco’s flow battery system is designed to operate in the harsh climate conditions of Saudi Arabia, where temperatures can soar to extreme levels. Unlike traditional solar energy systems, the Fe/V flow battery technology can handle fluctuating power demands with high efficiency and minimal performance degradation.
