WRI paper outlines technological pathways for decarbonizing petroleum refining

Green Car Congress

Stationary combustion emissions come from burning fossil fuels in combustion units to generate heat for on-site processes such as distilling crude oil, creating steam, and cracking hydrocarbons. Most of the technological options are available today at various levels of development, and innovation and deployment will expand their usage.

Life Cycle Analysis of Camelina-based Renewable Jet and Diesel Fuels Shows 84-89% GHG Savings Compared to Petroleum Fuels

Green Car Congress

The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. It is estimated that the state of Montana alone could support between 2 and 3 million acres of camelina, generating 200 to 300 million gallons of oil each year.
