  • How can oil refineries transition to a low carbon future?
  • Given the urgency to transition to low carbon future, oil refineries need to identify feasible strategies for decarbonisation. One way to address this is by integrating renewable energy systems. However, the high initial costs and intermittency appeared to be the key barriers for the adoption of renewable energy technologies.
  • How important is decarbonisation of oil refineries?
  • The oil refinery sector stands as one of the major consumers of energy and contributes significantly to GHG emissions (Nurdiawati and Urban 2022). Most refineries generate their energy on-site, using energy systems fuelled by fossil fuels. The decarbonisation of refineries is, therefore, vital for addressing its emissions concerns.
  • Can a multi-period optimisation model improve oil refinery flexibility?
  • Hence, a multi-period optimisation model is developed via mixed integer linear programming in this work to determine the optimal renewable energy system in terms of cost and its optimal energy storage technology to enhance its flexibility for oil refinery operations.
  • What should replace today's crude-oil refineries?
  • Today¡¯s crude-oil refineries will need to be replaced with renewable fuel and chemical production to achieve net-zero goals. From petrol to plastics, oil-derived products define modern life. A bold plan to change that comes with huge costs ¡ª but researchers and policymakers should take it seriously.
  • Which refineries are best suited for oil production?
  • Refineries that are close to sources of renewable feedstocks like soybean oil, distillers corn oil, canola oil, or beef tallow and white grease from beef or pork processing plants will likely have an advantage.
  • What is a petroleum refinery case study?
  • A petroleum refinery case study is used to demonstrate the proposed methodology. A renewable energy system is developed to meet the energy demands of a petroleum refinery and decarbonise its operation via reducing indirect GHG emissions.
