Please join Bank of America experts for their insights into the refining, chemical, and commodities markets, including an overview of their forthcoming update to their “Golden Age of Refining” investment thesis. Panelists will discuss their outlook for the sector and offer Bank of America’s perspectives on performance, trends, and key questions investors are asking as they analyze our industries.
Owners act and think differently than employees. To an owner, a business is more than a source of income. It’s part of their identity. They view its success as their own. But what if you could inspire your employees to tap into the ownership mindset? In this inspiring keynote, Kerry Siggins shares how she led her company in making a dramatic shift in mentality from an employee mindset to an ownership mindset and how doing so turned paycheck players into top performers
Renewable electricity is a hot topic, seems like there is an investment announced every day/week. Industrial customers are interested to understand supply options, but cannot seem to make the numbers work.
Does your leadership team ask how everyone else is making the numbers work, or what are we missing?
Join us for a discussion of the evaluation and development process for on-site renewable generation projects.
Topics will include local power market drivers, changing regulations & tax incentives, scale, interconnection, end of life, purchase versus investment, and other considerations.
Human and Organizational Performance principals are being adopted at several companies throughout the refining and petrochemical industries. Human Performance is the next frontier for improving safety performance. But what does that mean for the leader? How must their mindset change around accountability? This session will discuss the HOP principals and the leader's role in transformational change.
Powering the Future of Refining and Petrochemicals
The last 3 years have shown a growing social drive for ESG and acceleration of the energy transition. While the transition may be accelerated, even with development and deployment of emerging technologies, hydrocarbon fuels will be required for many years to come. With this recognition, there will be increasing pressures on fossil fuel refiners to both maximize profitability and decarbonize at the same time. This will require refiners to implement a continuum of near-term tactical, to longer-term strategic investments. While we work to reduce energy intensity, there is a common agreement that moving towards bioeconomy and switching to renewable feedstocks to produce both fuels and raw materials is key for companies and governments to succeed in their transitions and achieve their climate targets. Carbon capture, utilization and storage is proving to be a critical component of reducing emissions in key applications where CO2 is challenging to avoid. Once CO2 is captured, the next logical step is to then leverage that material as part of the solution for true carbon circularity. In this workshop, we will discuss client examples that span the range from carbon avoidance, carbon capture and carbon utilization.
The purpose of the presentation is to show how to implement such a DT facility in tune with corporate strategy over an extended but defined time frame.
Successfully processing a changing crude diet can be a challenge from the tank farm through distillation. Upsets and performance reductions lead to processing cost penalties downstream, loss of production, and environmental impacts through greater emissions and brine water quality issues. Optimizing the design, operational parameters and chemical injection schema from crude receipts through the hot train can minimize these cost penalties and ensure performance is maintained.
