Aramco highlighted that the building materials sector offers opportunities to explore replacing traditional, high-carbon-emission materials with advanced alternatives, such as non-metallic materials, which could help reduce carbon emissions and strengthen the localization of more industries in Saudi Arabia.

As previously reported by Argaam, Saudi Aramco began working on the 47,000-seat stadium in July. The stadium is expected to be completed by 2026 and will be one of the main venues for the AFC Asian Cup, which Saudi Arabia will host in 2027.
