This Refinery, Petrochemicals & Low-Carbon Processing session addresses process innovations in refineries and petrochemical plants aimed at improving efficiency and reducing emissions. Topics include advanced catalytic processes, process intensification, integration with hydrogen production and CCUS, and electrification of heat-demanding units. Contributions may involve process modeling, optimization of energy use, and retrofitting existing facilities for lower carbon intensity. The session welcomes work on alternative feedstocks, including bio-based and recycled materials, and their implications for plant operation and product quality. Techno-economic and environmental assessments, as well as strategic perspectives on transforming refineries into integrated low-carbon energy and chemical hubs, are particularly relevant.
