Just Released. Technology Solutions to Reduce Carbon Footprint and Meet Business Sustainability Goals.

This comprehensive and detailed study addresses the latest technologies and solutions to reduce carbon footprint in refinery operations. Despite many uncertainties in global GHG reduction commitment due to failed agreement at the summit in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009 and media coverage biased against the energy industry, many oil companies have already implemented technologies to reduce CO₂ as discussed in this Report.

"ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell have introduced a new process known as high-temperature froth treatment, which reportedly cuts CO₂ emissions from bitumen processing by 10-15% in Canada."

"French oil major Total began operation of a wind farm at the Les Flandres refinery in Mardyck, France on Nov. 14, 2003. Total has also proposed building four 4.5-MW wind turbines at their Milford Haven refinery located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The project is estimated to reduce CO₂ emissions by over 27K mt/y when operation begins."

"Air Products will design, construct, and operate a system to capture CO₂ from two steam methane reformers (SMRs) located at Valero Energy's 250K-b/d Port Arthur, Texas (US) refinery."

This Report looks at four primary tactics based on a simple carbon balance in refinery operations:

• Impacts of crude types, combustion fuels, and product slate
• Efficiency improvements in energy supply and demand
• Renewable sources of energy used in refineries
• Carbon capture and sequestration

What is so unique and valuable about this Report?

• Undertakes different case studies to analyze the impact of adopting various technologies on the operational and capital expenses of the refinery. The impact of CO₂ cost is also investigated for each scenario. The goal is to help refiners prepare and devise the right strategies in a time of market uncertainty.
• Conducts a direct survey conducted among refiners around the world and reviews carbon management policies announced by global oil companies. The purpose is not only to identify and analyze technology solutions, but also to reveal industry strategies and trends.
• Offers strategic analyses and recommendations to aid our clients in formulating their own plans to tackle impending environmental legislation challenges, gaining market shares, and sustaining long-term profitability.
