Accelerating a more sustainable future
Executives are increasingly turning to sustainability as a force multiplier for competitive advantage. In the past, this was typically not a competitive focus simply a means of demonstrating responsible corporate citizenship and so sustainability initiatives often became siloed within the enterprise. Today, sustainability has become central to business operations, emerging as an essential element of a successful strategy. CEOs are discovering that “sustainability” and “profitability” ...

How sustainable aviation fuels are poised to dominate the sector
The need to decarbonise the aviation sector has never been clearer. In 2022, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) approved a resolution stating that the global air transport industry would achieve carbon‐neutral status by 2050. However, for a sector fuelled by crude-oil derived kerosene, it’s understandable that many are wondering how it can meet its targets.

Naphtha to Ethane / Propane from Honeywell UOP
The olefins industry is facing challenges with increasing competitiveness, in terms of cost of production, amidst a growing concern about feedstock security in many parts of the world. While ethane crackers remain the lowest cost to build and operate, many liquid crackers have already been built around the globe. These installations have sought to capture local price discounts for light naphtha and their operation is mainly due to feedstock security. Ethane is not prevalent in ...

Transition to net zero: steps to decarbonize the oil refining industry
A review of the solutions being employed by oil refineries to reduce their Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Despite improvements in vehicle fuel economy, increasing adoption of hybrids, and EVs, petroleum- based fuel demand continues to grow, at least in the short- to mid-term! In general, demand is generated from population growth and increased car ownership, and both are increasing. However, during the pandemic, people concerned about health moved around less. Consequently, ...

UK public sector support for hydrogen research and innovation
The UK government has put research, innovation and ‘learning by doing’ at the heart of its approach to developing a thriving UK hydrogen sector — as set out in the 2021 UK Hydrogen Strategy. Research and innovation (R&I) will be vital to accelerating the growth of the UK hydrogen economy: it can help de-risk current technology while next generation technology is developed, drive efficiencies and cost reductions, address risks, and help answer key outstanding socio-economic ...

Decarbonising process heat with industrial heat pumps and steam compressors webinar
Industrial energy consumption accounts for about 25% of energy demand and CO2 emissions worldwide, with process heat being the most common application. Hydrocarbon and basic chemical processing plants are particularly process heat-intensive. Heat demand for basic operations distillation and heating of fluids in US industry is about as energy intense as all other industrial heat applications combined. At the same time, there is a vast, unused potential for waste heat in many plant ...

Decarbonization with hydrogen solutions
Demand for hydrogen is expected to increase up to ten-fold by 2050 when multiple industry reports predict 8-24% of the world’s final energy demand will be supplied by hydrogen. Hydrogen has a unique ability to address ‘hard-to-decarbonize’ sectors including refining, chemicals, steel, heating, long-haul transport, and long-term power storage — all of which currently produce significant CO2 emissions. To achieve this, hydrogen must be produced with significantly lower carbon ...
