Low-carbon refining: insane in the membrane?

Using membranes to fractionate crude oil in refining

Almost 1% of global CO2 comes from distillation to separate crude oil fractions at refineries. An alternative is to separate these fractions using precisely engineered polymer membranes, eliminating 50-80% of…

Decarbonise Downstream?

Decarbonise Downstream Refining Improved Catalysts

Refining has the highest carbon footprint in global energy. Next-generation catalysts are the best opportunity for improvement: uniquely, they could cut refineries’ CO2 by 15-30%, while also uplifting margins, which…
