More than 100 scientists, engineers, catalyst experts and researchers from Japan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and the Czech Republic, participated in the two-day symposium on catalysts used in petroleum refining and petrochemicals held on December 7–8, 2015 at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The annual symposium was jointly organized by KFUPM, Saudi Aramco, the Japan Petroleum Institute (JPI) and Japan Cooperation Center, Petroleum (JCCP) to discuss latest advances in catalysts for refining and chemical processing. The year 2005 marked the silver jubilee 25th anniversary of the Symposium and the 60th years of establishing diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Japan. Seventeen presentations featured topics on the activation of light alkanes, aromatics, chemicals from CO2, olefins, photocatalysis, fuel upgrade, carbenes, membranes and polyolefins.
