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.
Sustainability application of aviation eJet fuel
SAF will be essential to achieving the aviation industry’s ambitious decarbonization targets by 2050. Regulations will play a large part in increasing the share of SAF used in aviation and defining the qualified products. CO2 utilization and bio-SAF have great potential to supplement aviation turbine demands. Combining the production of bio-SAF and CO2-based industrial processes provides advantages regarding the most efficient use of carbon from different sources, with high efficiency and optimized costs.
