Aramco and the China Building Materials Academy (CBMA) jointly established the Nonmetallic Excellence and Innovation Center for Building Materials (NEXCEL) in Beijing in January 2022 to further advance the use of nonmetallic materials in the building and construction sector. The brand-new NEXCEL leverages CBMA’s expertise and resources to promote the development and application of nonmetallic materials and technologies that offer superior lifecycle cost, efficiency and environmental advantages over their metal alternatives. For more than two decades, Aramco has been leveraging its technology leadership to develop and adopt nonmetallic solutions in its oil and gas operations and is driving the development of a suite of nonmetallic solutions through global collaborations with prominent academic institutions, research and technology organizations, manufacturers, and industry leaders such as the CBMA. NEXCEL promotes the development and application of nonmetallic materials and technologies by exploring opportunities for joint projects in research and development, standards development and adoption, professional development and certifications, advocacy and international outreach. The Center also creates a global collaboration platform to expand and accelerate the use of nonmetallic materials to improve sustainability, contribute to a lower carbon footprint, and enhance the durability and longevity of structures.
