Decarbonization pathway for net-zero by 2050: Carbon neutrality roadmap strategy for an integrated refinery and petrochemical facility
This article quantifies GHG emissions from various sources, such as fired heaters and boilers, within refinery and petrochemical operations. Based on these quantified emissions, a tailored carbon neutrality roadmap is developed, incorporating carbon reduction, mitigation and offsetting strategies.
Synthetic graphite demand drives attractive techno-economics for coker upgrades
This article describes the economic opportunity that synthetic graphite demand growth presents for American and European refiners. It describes the conditions that best suit a plant to be considered for such a revamp. The article also discusses the modifications needed in capital equipment, process conditions and feedstock to execute this change, the typical capital expenditure required to materialize it, and the transformational gross profit enhancements that could result from these modifications, given the product slate upgrade.
Sustainability application of aviation eJet fuel
SAF will be essential to achieving the aviation industry’s ambitious decarbonization targets by 2050. Regulations will play a large part in increasing the share of SAF used in aviation and defining the qualified products. CO2 utilization and bio-SAF have great potential to supplement aviation turbine demands. Combining the production of bio-SAF and CO2-based industrial processes provides advantages regarding the most efficient use of carbon from different sources, with high efficiency and optimized costs.
Power up: Considerations to help understand the potential of cogeneration
Combined heat and power, also known as cogeneration, converts one form of energy to two usable forms, typically heat and power. By simultaneously producing onsite electricity and heat, cogeneration systems can provide reliable energy at reduced overall costs. Cogeneration is a very effective pathway to executing decarbonization strategies when coupled with renewable natural gas or other low-carbon fuels.
Design efficient and scalable liquefaction plants for a low-carbon future
