Unlock the potential of clean ammonia
Green hydrogen is poised to play a crucial role in the energy transition by opening new decarbonization pathways, particularly in energy-intensive industries (marine shipping and transport, chemicals, steel, cement, etc.).
Beyond sequestration: Changing CO2 from a problem to a solution—Part 2: CO2 as an energy storage medium
As the world continues along its energy transition trajectory, demand for blue hydrogen and reduced carbon emissions will make high-purity carbon dioxide streams available in many process plants.
Seven questions to consider about H2 hubs
Hydrogen is poised to become a crucial part of the decarbonization equation as countries strive to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
H2 purification: Take on new challenges by leveraging existing solutions
Green, blue, pink, yellow or white: regardless of its color, low-carbon hydrogen will play a significant role in the energy transition and the future of transportation.
Implement innovative corrosion management solutions for biofuel refining—Part 2
The production of carbon-neutral and renewable transportation fuels is growing rapidly, driven by the need to find feedstocks beyond fossil resources. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives—along with accelerated consumer demand for sustainable and carbon-negative fuel products—are also driving demand.
Advanced hydrocracking unit flow scheme optimization and integration approach to maximize refinery margins for a residue upgrading project
The integration of a solvent deasphalting and hydrocracking upgrading complex provides a favorable techno-economic return for residue upgradation at relatively lower capital expenditures vs. other alternatives for a brownfield project.
Sharing insights beyond the fencelines with digital technologies
In refineries and petrochemical plants globally, breaking down silos and barriers among departments, teams and functions remains one of the largest challenges when it comes to processing data and operational insights.
