The Public Investment Fund supports CCE, which is managing emissions in Saudi Arabia. CCE has traded over 15 million carbon credits in three years, equivalent to $93.3 million in financing for climate projects worldwide. CCE's CEO, Fadi Saadeh, noted that domestic demand for carbon credits currently exceeds supply, and the company is tracking more than 30 local and international project developers, including those focused on methane capture and nature-based solutions.
