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. -
Advanced Safety Methodology for Risk Management of Petroleum Refinery Operations
ADVANCED SAFETY METHODOLOGY FOR RISK MANAGEMENT OF PETROLEUM REFINERY OPERATIONS ADEMOLA ISHOLA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 Abstract Petroleum refineries are important facilities for refining petroleum products that provide the primary source of energy for domestic and industrial consumption globally. Petroleum refinery operations provide significant contribution to global economic growth. Petroleum refineries are complex, multifaceted systems that perform multiple phase operations characterized by a high level of risk. Evidence based major accidents that have occurred within the last three decades in the petroleum refineries, around the world, indicates losses estimated in billions of US dollars. Many of these accidents are catastrophes, which have led to the disruption of petroleum refinery operations. These accidents have resulted in production loss, asset damage, environmental damage, fatalities and injuries. However, the foremost issue analysed in literatures in relation to major accidents in petroleum refineries, is the lack of robust risk assessment and resourceful risk management approaches to identify and assess major accident risks, in order to prevent or mitigate them from escalating to an accident. Thus, it is exceptionally critical to readdress the issue of petroleum refinery risk management with the development of a more dependable, adaptable and holistic risk modelling framework for major accident risks investigation. In this thesis, a proactive framework for advanced risk management to analyse and mitigate the disruption risks of petroleum refinery operations is presented. In this research, various risk elements and their attributes that can interact to cause the disruption of PRPU operations were identified and analysed, in order to determine their criticality levels. -

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.
