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.
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.
