Session Description:
The energy transition is affecting the oil refining and chemical industries in many ways. It makes us look at new options for powering, heating, and cooling, of course; but it is also leading to a fundamental reassessment of supply chains and process design philosophy, and a fresh evaluation of the societal goals surrounding our industry. In this session, we examine all these issues, with presentations focusing on decarbonizing the process industry, specifically aimed at powering and heating industrial processes, and recycling materials, along with climate equity and environmental justice.
Session Chairs:
- Frank Roberto, ExxonMobil
- Alan Rossiter, University of Houston
