Novel Nonmetallic Solution Manufacturing co.
M Nadeem Qureshi, PhD is a Senior Manager, Research and Development BOG at Novel Nonmetallic Solution Manufacturing as part of Joint venture of Saudi Aramco and Baker Hughes. His research and development activities encompass polymerization and post process such as polymeric molded and extruded goods, wire and cables, films, adhesive, pigments, coatings, foams, rubberized and fiber reinforced composite sheets. He has led research on polymer seals, encapsulation, inks, tires, and fuel cells manufacturing processes for petrochemical, renewable, transportation, building and construction industries. Managed cross-functional team for multi-sectorial projects for completion with strategic planning and coordination. Currently he led Novel technology advancement, processing and quality driven R & D efforts for both existing and new products from concept to commercialization.
Currently global government and private industrial investments in renewable energy are ramping up due to rising climate concerns and Net-Zero commitment. Solar PV technologies are low-carbon solutions, yet the carbon footprint of conventional solar panels can be quite significant due to toxic materials and their manufacturing process. In this presentation, we’ll compare how CO2 is saved with alternative solar energy with solar panel carbon footprints. Recently, top manufacturers are trending towards a low cost, light weight, and shape transformable integrated solution. Therefore, a thin flexible printable photovoltaic cell has great potential to be the top choice for the future generation solar cell market leaders. The local R&D initiatives in OPV technology are aligned with Saudi Aramco future focus on Non-metallic materials use of its oil resources. Most of the mass of OPV type solar cell is consisted of petrochemical-based organic materials in the recent configuration. Mega Construction projects and smart city trends in GCC, will increase demands for Solar energy, which offers high potential in values chain processes, localization output, market transformation and sustained growth. it was estimated that Billions of Square meters of unused building surfaces are available for OPV type module application, most of which is not suitable for conventional Solar Panels. A business case was estimated for OPV solar module and investment opportunities were explained. We’ll discuss solar emissions impacts and discuss some local market trends on sustainable technologies in relation with localization prospects.
