A Pathway Towards Net-Zero Emissions in Oil Refineries

Nixon Sunny et al.

Summary: Rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to increased energy and mobility service demands, resulting in higher greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyzes strategic measures to reduce CO2 emissions from oil refinery operations, emphasizing the need for post-combustion CCS technology coupled with other mitigation measures. The importance of addressing scope 3 emissions and the potential growth opportunities in a circular carbon economy are also highlighted.

Assessing bio-oil co-processing routes as CO2 mitigation strategies in oil refineries

Edgar Yanez et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the CO2 mitigation potential of various bio-oil co-processing pathways in an oil refinery. Results show that up to 15% of the fossil-fuel output in the refinery could be replaced by biofuel, resulting in a reduction in CO2 emissions from 33% to 84%, with production costs ranging from 17 to 31euro/GJ.

Synthetic Methanol/Fischer-Tropsch Fuel Production Capacity, Cost, and Carbon Intensity Utilizing CO2 from Industrial and Power Plants in the United States

Guiyan Zang et al.

Summary: Capturing CO2 from industrial and power generation processes to produce FT fuels and methanol offers a potential alternative to traditional petroleum fuels, with significant potential for CO2 reduction. The technoeconomic analysis shows that while the production cost may be higher than petroleum fuels/chemicals, the total CO2 reduction potential is substantial.

Co-processing of Hydrothermal Liquefaction Sewage Sludge Biocrude with a Fossil Crude Oil by Codistillation: A Detailed Characterization Study by FTICR Mass Spectrometry

Stefano Chiaberge et al.

Summary: This study investigates the possibility of co-processing renewable feedstock in existing refineries by distilling a blend of fossil crude with hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) biocrude from primary sewage sludge. Results showed that the biocrude mainly contributes to high boiling point fractions, especially in diesel and residue, with a significant contribution also observed in the kerosene range. However, the presence of nitrogen compounds in the distilled fractions poses challenges, which can be addressed by adjusting the blending ratio or implementing specific upgrading treatments. The co-distillation of HTL biocrude with fossil oil presents a promising pathway for introducing renewables in existing refineries.

Closing the methane gap in US oil and natural gas production emissions inventories

Jeffrey S. Rutherford et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that methane emissions from oil and gas production in the United States are typically 1.5-2 times higher than official estimates, with equipment leaks being the main cause of the discrepancy. By developing a new inventory-based model, more accurate estimates of methane emissions can be made to guide mitigation policies effectively.

How green is blue hydrogen?

Robert W. Howarth et al.

Summary: Despite the lower carbon dioxide emissions, the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of blue hydrogen are still quite high due to the release of fugitive methane. The use of blue hydrogen appears challenging to justify on climate grounds, as even with reduced methane emission rates, the emissions are still greater than simply burning natural gas.

Recent advances in integrated CO2 capture and utilization: a review

Shuzhuang Sun et al.

Summary: CO2 capture and utilization is a promising solution to reduce the impact of CO2, with ICCU showing many advantages over traditional CCU processes, requiring attention to key process parameters and the development and application of dual-functional materials. CaO as an adsorbent in combination with CO2 utilization catalysts shows potential, but considerations such as cost and post-processing requirements are still relevant in industrial applications.
