Powering Qatar's green transition with B100 biofuel

Global energy markets are experiencing a profound transformation, driven by an urgent need for decarbonisation and geopolitical resilience.

Against this backdrop of energy diversification, a groundbreaking exclusive partnership has emerged to accelerate the transition to sustainable alternative fuels in the Middle East. Announced recently during the prestigious AIM Congress 2026 in Dubai, Kingdom Konsult of Qatar and The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia have joined forces to officially bring B100 biofuel to the Qatari market. This historic collaboration signifies a major leap forward for environmental resilience in the Gulf region.

The strategic shift towards biofuels

Expanding the range of available energy solutions is a strategic priority for modern economies. Biofuels provide a highly practical pathway to decarbonise operations that are currently dependent on traditional diesel, ultimately strengthening regional supply chains and ensuring operational continuity. This Qatar–Saudi partnership marks a significant milestone in regional alternative energy adoption, moving beyond theoretical frameworks into tangible, real-world deployment.

Miss Katina Aghayan, Chairman and Founder of Kingdom Konsult, explains the broader significance: “We are proud to pioneer bringing B100 biofuel to Qatar through this strategic partnership with The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia. Biofuel and alternative energy today are not only about sustainability and reducing emissions; they are increasingly connected to energy security, geopolitical resilience and the need for diversified and reliable energy solutions. This partnership creates a strong bridge between Saudi biofuel expertise and the Qatar market, demonstrating how GCC cooperation can turn the energy transition into practical implementation.”

 

Aligning with national sustainability goals

The introduction of B100 biofuel directly supports the environmental development objectives outlined in the Qatar National Vision 2030, as well as Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy 2024–2030. Specifically, it heavily aligns with the state's ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by the year 2030, demonstrating a firm commitment to sustainable national development.

Mr. Abdullah Al Otaibi, CEO of The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia, said: “We are delighted to partner with Kingdom Konsult to bring The Biofuel’s B100 to the Qatar market. This collaboration combines our biofuel production and technical capabilities with Kingdom Konsult’s market expertise and stakeholder engagement in Qatar. We believe B100 can provide organisations with a practical alternative fuel solution while supporting wider ambitions for decarbonisation, energy diversification and resilience.”

Sector-wide practical implementation

This exclusive collaboration divides responsibilities to ensure smooth integration across multiple sectors. Kingdom Konsult will spearhead market development, stakeholder engagement, and commercial opportunities within Qatar. In tandem, The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia will supply the B100 biofuel alongside the necessary technical expertise, certifications, and deployment support.

The partnership targets a comprehensive range of sectors across the nation. Key target areas for B100 biofuel deployment include:

• Government and semi-government entities
• Transportation and logistics
• Industrial operations and infrastructure
• Education, construction, and hospitality
• Sports facilities and major events

To facilitate adoption, both organisations plan to launch biofuel pilot projects and demonstrations, paving the way for commercial-scale deployments.

Mr. Gary Hubbard FCILT, SVP Commercial & Operations of The Biofuel Company Ltd, added: “The energy transition requires solutions that can move from ambition to real-world application. B100 biofuel provides an opportunity for organisations to reduce the carbon footprint of diesel-dependent operations while maintaining operational practicality. Together with Kingdom Konsult, we look forward to developing the Qatar market and demonstrating the commercial, operational and environmental value that biofuel can deliver.”

The power of GCC-to-GCC cooperation

This initiative illustrates the vital role of cross-border collaboration in cultivating a lower-carbon regional energy ecosystem. Both organisations bring unique strengths to the table:

The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia's Capabilities:

• Operates as the largest high-quality biodiesel refinery in the GCC with a monthly capacity of 3KT.
• Produces sustainable B100 fuel from locally collected used cooking oil, meeting stringent EN14214 standards.
• Actively supplies international markets and Saudi Giga projects.

Kingdom Konsult's Expertise:

• Operates as a global boutique consultancy specialising in the circular economy and sustainability strategy.
• Connects technology with corporate operations to drive ESG reporting and decarbonisation efforts.
• Introduces patented green innovations in recycling and clean energy to the regional market.

By merging these operational and consulting strengths, this alliance establishes a robust framework for energy diversification, providing organisations with reliable, sustainable fuel solutions that reflect the future of the Gulf's evolving energy landscape.
