Can the Global refining industry follow the same course and decarbonise to meet net-zero in the face of rapidly rising fuels demand and the need for affordable energy? This transformative journey demands the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, the relentless pursuit of energy efficiency, the embrace of biofuels, and a decisive shift toward low-carbon feedstocks.
This presentation will cover the most important topics, including:
- Net-zero commitments made by various countries and oil companies.
- The challenges in the journey toward energy transition such as the anticipated shift in primary energy demand through 2050, as well as the projected changes in refined product demand during the same period.
- The expected addition of new refinery capacity, primarily in Asia, alongside rationalization in Europe and the USA.
- Finally, it will highlight effective strategies for decarbonizing refineries, focusing on technological advancements and process optimizations necessary for a sustainable future.
A robust refinery decarbonization strategy is not just essential; it is imperative for aligning energy demand with our climate aspirations. The time for action is now!
