Recently published research led in part by the 51精品视频 uses engineering-based refinery modeling on crude oils to of the oil and gas industry.
The authors, including , assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the 51精品视频鈥檚 , provide guidance on refining choices that will lessen the environmental impact of the industry and recommend future investments in emissions mitigation technologies.聽The research was published in the journal聽.
The researchers modeled 93% of the world鈥檚 oil as it flows to 153 refineries across the world, finding that global refining emissions could be reduced by 11-58% by targeting the primary emission sources. The research will, for the first time, estimate greenhouse gas emissions of oil refinery operations using a granular, engineering-based, bottom-up approach.
