Sour Water Ammonia Recovery - a Low Carbon Intensity Product
Crude, Sustainability
Technology exists to recover ammonia from Sour Water. This ammonia is considered a low carbon intensity (CI) source since it was a waste stream and can be used, for example, as a liquid hydrogen carrier for further low CI uses. This session will highlight technologies to enable ammonia recovery, utilization, and how ammonia recovery meshes into an overall facility nitrogen and sulfur management strategy.

Renewable Diesel Panel
Sustainability, Gasoline Processing
Sponsored by Nalco Water
Renewable diesel production units have been online for several years as operators shift their attention to renewable fuels to support their ESG commitments. This technology is similar to traditional hydroprocessing with some of the major differences being in feedstocks, operating conditions, product intermediates, metallurgy and others. A panel of experts from these operating companies will be on hand to answer audience led questions on RD operations while providing operational feedback, lessons learned and best practices.
Facilitator: Eric Legare, Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
Panel:
Paul Dofton, Marathon Petroleum Company

U.S. Gasoline Demand: How Not To Sink With The Ship!
Gasoline Processing
The composition of the US passenger car fleet is changing rapidly with the growing adoption of electric vehicles. US gasoline demand will peak at levels lower than pre-pandemic and then decline. The ship that has often kept global refining afloat will start to sink! Not all is lost, as life rafts are available, as gasoline demand in Latin America and Africa will continue to grow, with US refiners being more competitive than Europeans. Global petrochemical demand growth will provide some support to naphtha, but that will likely be in emerging economies. These export opportunities are unlikely to fully counter the decline in US gasoline demand, so how much US capacity is at risk of rationalization if they “do nothing”? What are the technology options that refiners should consider to align with shifting local demand patterns, that add value. What refinery scale is necessary to deliver a sustainable source of competitive advantage?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel—Investor Perspectives
Sustainability
In October 2021, many of the world’s airlines committed to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It is generally accepted that this will require the broad use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In early September 2021, the Biden Administration announced a new goal to increase the domestic production of SAF to at least 3 billion gallons per year by 2030. This equates to just under 200 kBPD. For the purpose of this panel, the many incentives being put in place to help support the build-out of SAF production is treated as a given. This panel will focus on both the demand side, with the airline industries perspectives on SAF, and the financing industry’s supply side perspective on what makes a bankable SAF project. Please join this session to hear the views of TBA Speaker, Role at Untied Airlines and Chloe Petrich – Director, Project and Export Finance at Standard Chartered Bank as they talk about what their firms are doing to help drive a more sustainable future.
