  • 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” ...

  • BioForming® Sugar to Aromatics (S2A) ready now and fit for the future

    The BioForming® S2A process turns sugars into a drop-in aromatic feedstock, BioFormate®. Like its reformate namesake, BioFormate® can be utilized to make a variety of end products such as bio-gasoline, drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and bio-BTX (benzene, toluene and xylenes) - molecules used as building blocks for many everyday products, such as pharmaceuticals, polymers and coatings.

  • Biomass availability and sector competition

    The present version of the report is a draft sent out for review by selected stakeholders. Subject to exposing our findings to review comments during a webinar June 2nd 2022, the report will be prepared as a final version. The aims of this project have been to: - Provide an overview of recent scientific consensus on future potentials of biomass that are estimated to be sustainably available for non-food/feed purposes, i.e. as feedstock for energy, fuels and materials/chemicals - ...

  • Ecofining technology

    Refiners are facing a new world and new markets as the drive toward sustainability accelerates. Business is leading the change as major global corporations move to increase sustainability and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The endgame is to produce low carbon, sustainable fuels while maximizing available resources and reducing waste. Honeywell UOP has shaped the refining process since it began. As a global leader in sustainable fuel technologies, UOP helped pioneer ...

  • Heat Management System for Clean Fuels/Biofuel Industry

    The current trend to produce clean fuels and biofuels adds new process maintain temperature demands to refining operations, bulk storage and blending facilities. Keeping operations running efficiently is crucial. nVent Thermal Management provides a heat management system engineered to protect critical process temperatures and prevent utilities and instrumentation equipment from freezing.

  • 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.

  • Jet Zero Strategy: Delivering net zero aviation by 2050

    The early evolution of air travel in this country — from the first commercial flight to the first jet airliner, the British Comet — took just 30 years. In that short time, aviation technology developed at an astonishing pace. But it showed what we can achieve. We now have even less time to transform aviation again. Our target of net zero flying by 2050 is hugely challenging. Not just because aircraft have always relied on fossil fuels, but because aviation is only just ...

  • Maritime Decarbonization Strategy 2022

    The Maritime Decarbonization Strategy reviews the progress of the transition in the shipping sector so far and outlines the actions the industry must take to move closer to the Paris 1.5°C trajectory. The conclusions and recommendations presented in the report are based on analyses and modelling work done by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Centerfor Zero Carbon Shipping, outcomes from workshops with center partners and other stakeholders across the maritime industry, and the results ...

  • The shift to clean energy solutions

    As the natural gas industry assembled in September for the 56th Annual American School of Gas Measurement Technology, it has become clear that the oil and gas industry has embraced the energy transition. While many of the classes covered traditional topics in natural gas, including gas quality measurements such as moisture or hydrogen sulfide, the discussion among participants ranged from the role of natural gas to the increasing use of biofuels to how hydrogen blending impacts ...

  • Proven decarbonisation pathway for sustainable biofuels and chemicals production from waste webinar

    The flexibility to make use of varying waste streams as feedstocks to replace primary fossil resources is a common goal in operations today. You may be looking at sources such as woody and agricultural biomass, MSW, RDF, SRF, sewage sludge, or non-recyclable plastic to produce bio or circular chemicals or sustainable fuels: Bio Syngas, green hydrogen, SAF, sustainable maritime fuels, or BioMethanol. The key question is how to decarbonize these assets to meet sustainability and ...

  • Low cost production of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel

    Feed flexibility is critical for operators to stay competitive and deliver high-quality products. But diversifying your feed can bring its own set of challenges. It gets even trickier when working with renewable feedstocks from biological sources. These materials are highly olefinic and might be packed with heteroatom contaminants. To turn them into something valuable, you need substantially more hydrogen than you would for conventional petroleum hydrotreating. We're talking 1,700 ...

  • 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 ...
