Green Jubail industrial city

Abstract

In this study the focus is on reduction of pollution in Jubail Industrial City (J. I. City), but this could be implemented to any industrial city in general. It’s a fact that the pollution in J. I. City is caused from many sources. Some of them are: 1. Chemical reactors in petrochemical plants. 2. Use of diesel fuel in boilers in petrochemical plants. 3. Use of diesel fuel and Gasoline in power plants/water desalination plant. 4. Use of diesel trucks to transfer the product to port and city. 5. Use of gasoline fuel in personal automobile. Population and pollution of gasoline automobile in growing continuously and tremendously in J. I. City since this industrial city has large residential area, J. I. City therefore has lots of individual vehicles. Beside that there is no public transportation system currently available except for schools to transport student. The research recommends Electric Vehicle (EV) as a solution to reduce the amount of pollution created by internal combustion engine cars which is currently the only available personal transportation means. The starting point is rules and legislations to be set by the city council (Royal Commission for Jubail) to facilitate the solutions and make them possible and implementable. The city council will be the starting point for implementation of EV, next stage will be major companies in the area to implement EV, third stage will be schools public transportation system, fourth stage will be to establish a new public transportation system that is operated by EV only. Fifth stage is to establish electric train to move J. I. City products to port and other cities. Last stage is to abandon personal internal combustion engines cars from entering J. I. City. The research is recommending an EV that can be economical and effective for J. I. City environment.
