  • A Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster
    Delivering Cost Effective CCS in the 2020s – a Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster A CHATHAM HOUSE RULE MEETING REPORT July 2016 A CHATHAM HOUSE RULE MEETING REPORT Delivering Cost Effective CCS in the 2020s – Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster A group consisting of private sector companies, public sector bodies, and leading UK academics has been brought together by the UKCCSRC to identify and address actions that need to be taken in order to deliver a CCS based decarbonisation option for the UK in line with recommendations made by the Committee on Climate Change (i.e. 4-7GW of power CCS plus ~3MtCO2/yr of industry CCS by 2030). At an initial meeting (see https://ukccsrc.ac.uk/about/delivering-cost-effective-ccs-2020s-new-start) it was agreed that a series of regionally focussed meetings should take place, and Yorkshire Humber (which also naturally extended to possible links with Teesside) was the first such region to be addressed. Conclusions Reached No. Conclusion Conclusion 1.1 The existence within Yorkshire Humber of a number of brownfield locations with existing infrastructure and planning consents means that the region remains a likely UK CCS cluster region. Conclusion 1.2 Demise of coal fired power plants in the Aire Valley will see the loss of coal handling infrastructure and new handling facilities would need to be developed for biomass-based projects Conclusion 2.1 For Yorkshire Humber it is the choice of storage location that determines whether any pipeline infrastructure would route primarily north or south of the Humber. Conclusion 2.2 For Yorkshire Humber (and Teesside) there exist only 3 beach crossing points and two viable shipping locations for export of CO2 offshore (or for import, for transfer to storage).

  • Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Oil Refining and Petrochemical Industry Reference Number: PH3/8 Date Issued: June 1999
    The reduction of greenhouse gas emission from the oil refining and petrochemical industry Report Number PH3/8 June 1999 This document has been prepared for the Executive Committee of the Programme. It is not a publication of the Operating Agent, International Energy Agency or its Secretariat. Title: The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the oil refining and petrochemical industry Reference number: PH3/8 Date issued: June 1999 Other remarks: Background to the Study The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D programme (IEA GHG) is systematically evaluating the cost and potential for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases arising from anthropogenic activities, especially the use of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases are produced from a variety of industrial activities. The main sources, not related to power generation, are those energy intensive industries, which chemically or physically transform materials from one state to another. During these processes, many greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) are released. One notable example is oil refining and petrochemicals where considerable amounts of greenhouse gases are produced. Relatively little attention has been focused on the abatement/mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector. This study is the second in a series looking at greenhouse gas abatement/mitigation options for energy intensive industries. Carbon dioxide, methane and other hydrocarbons are emitted during the refining of oil, production of petrochemicals and the storage of feedstocks and products. The purpose of this study is to consider the abatement/mitigation options in the oil refining and petrochemicals industry. The study was carried out by AEA Technology of the United Kingdom.

  • A Lifecycle Assessment of Petroleum Processing Activities in the United Kingdom
    From Ground to Gate: A lifecycle assessment of petroleum processing activities in the United Kingdom Reyn OBorn Master in Industrial Ecology Submission date: June 2012 Supervisor: Anders Hammer Strømman, EPT Co-supervisor: Olav Bolland, EPT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Energy and Process Engineering Abstract Petroleum products are an important component of today’s societal energy needs. Petroleum powers everything from the vehicles people rely on, to the ships that carry goods around the world, to the heating of homes in colder climates. The petroleum process chain is complex and the environmental impacts within the process chain are not always well understood. A deeper understanding of where emissions come from along the process chain will help policy makers in the path towards a less carbon intensive society. One of the core processes of the petroleum process chain is refining. Petroleum refining is a complicated process which can have varying crude inputs and varying fuel outputs depending upon the refinery make-up, the crude blend and the market conditions at the time of production. The goal of this paper is to introduce a lifecycle analysis on the UK petroleum refining sector. Where emissions occur along the process chain and which fuels cause the most pollution on a per unit basis will be reported and discussed using lifecycle analysis framework. The refining process is difficult to maneuver around and it can be difficult to discern which processes create which products. The analysis is broadened to understand the refining emissions associated with different fuel types at both a process and country level.

The long-term trends—shifting product demand, misalignment of supply and demand, and ensuring the UK remains an attractive place to do business— continue to challenge the UK Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA) and our membership. But there is change ahead for all elements of the sector, as the government rightly pursues its ambitions to reduce carbon emissions and those of other pollutants. We are firmly behind these goals, which benefit the communities in which we want to continue to work and prosper.

  • Total Lindsey Oil Refinery Limited the Installation Is: Total Lindsey Oil Refinery This Variation Notice Number Is: EPR/TP3633NH/V004
    Environment Agency Review of an Environmental Permit for an Installation subject to Chapter II of the Industrial Emissions Directive under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 Decision document recording our decision-making process following review of a permit The Permit number is: EPR/TP3633NH The Operator is: Total Lindsey Oil Refinery Limited The Installation is: Total Lindsey Oil Refinery This Variation Notice number is: EPR/TP3633NH/V004 Consultation commences on: 25/10/18 Consultation ends on: 22/11/18 What this document is about Article 21(3) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) requires the Environment Agency to review conditions in permits that it has issued and to ensure that the permit delivers compliance with relevant standards, within four years of the publication of updated decisions on BAT conclusions. We have reviewed the permit for this installation against the revised BAT Conclusions for the refining of mineral oil and gas industry sector published on 28th October 2014. This is our decision document, which explains the reasoning for the consolidated variation notice that we are issuing. It explains how we have reviewed and considered the techniques used by the Operator in the operation and control of the plant and activities of the installation. This review has been undertaken with reference to the decision made by the European Commission establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions (‘BAT Conclusions’) for the refining of mineral oil and gas as detailed in document reference IEDC-7-1. It is our record of our decision- making process and shows how we have taken into account all relevant factors in reaching our position.

Introduction 1.1 VISBREAKER HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENTS Thermal cracking units built before 1930 were plagued with coking and mechanical prob- lems. In these units, cracking was initiated in a heater and completed in a soaking drum. Runs were short, largely because the important parameters of cracking were not well under- stood. Because of the problems with coke formation in the soaking drum, visbreakers after 1933 were the coil cracking type. The soaking drum was eliminated and the heater outlet tem- perature increased, so that all cracking could take place in the heater.
