As the global transition to clean energy accelerates, Greene Tweed engineers are developing and testing advanced materials to overcome the challenges faced by companies pursuing sustainability goals. This article focuses on four key areas where innovation in material science is driving progress.
Although global oil demand is expected to grow, the long-term outlook for many refineries is uncertain. Wood Mackenzie’s latest global refinery closure threat analysis reviews 420 sites worldwide, identifying those most at risk by 2035. Rising carbon cost, shifting demands and lack of petrochemical integration are key factors shaping future viability.
Duqm Refinery has installed three IPCO SG20 drum granulators to process sulfur efficiently and meet SUDIC standards. The advanced system offers high capacity, reduced emissions, and consistent product quality, addressing common challenges in traditional drum granulation with innovative features and simplified, continuous operation.
Renewable methanol is a low-carbon fuel derived from biomass, waste, and captured CO2. It offers a scalable alternative for hard-to-electrify sectors like shipping and industry. Advances in production technologies and policy support are driving its adoption, with large-scale projects emerging to aid global decarbonisation efforts.
Measuring water impurities in EDC and other key hydrocarbon processing applications Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a key intermediate in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production process, and requires accurate, reliable gas analysis to overcome process issues such as condensation and corrosion.
