SABIC introduces BLUEHERO, an expanding ecosystem of materials, solutions, expertise and programs aimed to help accelerate the world’s energy transition to electric power and support meeting global goals on climate change.

Its starting point with BLUEHERO is the support of the automotive industry’s mission to create better, safer and more efficient EVs, with an emphasis on improving structural battery components with flame retardant materials and solution development expertise.

“With our strategic BLUEHERO initiative, we have vigorously committed to invest in, develop and deliver material solutions that can support the transition to electric power, drive down emissions and help address climate change,” shared Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh, SABIC’s executive vice president for Polymers.

SABIC launches BLUEHERO to help accelerate world’s shift to electrification and lower carbon future, with initial focus on automotive industry.

It provides cost-effective and technologically advanced thermoplastics – which can offer significant advantages over conventional materials (metals) – to help the automotive industry further enhance the performance of EVs.

For example, using plastics in EV battery, electrical and charging components can deliver multiple benefits: reduced weight and system complexity, extended driving range, expanded design freedom, streamlined manufacturability, recyclability, and enhanced thermal management and occupant safety.

SABIC’s new BLUEHERO electrification initiative also leverages specific knowledge and expertise around large part molding, compression molding, advanced injection molding and polymer flame interaction to help support customers with solutions that can meet critical requirements and enable efficient production.

The initiative is guided and driven, in part, by six pillars.

The company expects to strengthen and expand its thermoplastic offering to help enable electrification with the elevated focus and new investments that will become available under BLUEHERO.

An integral element of SABIC’s BLUEHERO ecosystem is its global team of engineers, research fellows and scientists. This team is harnessing its established and growing expertise in design, testing and data generation for EV batteries and related applications to problem solve and overcome current limitations.

As part of its work, the team collaborates with customers, development partners and others across the value chain, from OEMs and tiers to tooling suppliers and testing agencies.

With promising opportunities for the world to employ electric technologies, the company anticipates expanding the focus and scope of its BLUEHERO initiative to help support efforts in additional sectors. Those could potentially include energy storage, charging infrastructure, other modes of transport and industrial and consumer equipment.
