The concern of CO emissions
No refinery can operate without hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) because it is needed in all hydroprocessing technologies to remove sulfurous impurities and produce products at the correct specifications. With each passing day, the importance of H<sub>2</sub> in refineries is increasing as crude oil gets heavier and more sour while product specifications are simultaneously getting tighter.
The heavy toll on sulfur blocks
The tightening of environmental norms and emissions specifications provides additional challenges to refining.
