Energy Efficiency Technologies to Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 3 Emissions

Fired heaters emit an estimated 400 to 500 million t of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, with at least 73% of average refinery CO2 emissions coming from combustion. Refineries and petrochemical plants are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions to meet targets set by governments. Fired heaters also have the greatest running cost in a refinery or a petrochemical site. If any one of the heaters is 1 or 2% inefficient it can consume an additional US$1 million in fuel over a year or result in millions of dollars in lost revenue. High fuel consumption also translates to high emissions.

This white paper discusses cost-effective solutions to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions. The solutions outlined are available to be implemented as part of existing turnaround cycles and are proven to dramatically reduce scope 1 and scope 3 emissions (CO2 by up to 20% and NOx by up to 40%), enabling refineries to operate at full capacity whilst meeting emissions targets.
