Energy Saviours: Part 2

As a follow up to the feature “Energy Saviours” (issue 927, September 2018), this article explores further opportunities for energy saving relating to upstream oil and gas unit operations and equipment. As I said in the previous article, I believe chemical engineers have a hugely significant role to play in decarbonising the environment and reducing other harmful gaseous emissions. I remain to be convinced that CCS is required to meet the UK’s carbon reduction goals. My preferences for emissions reduction are: use less energy; if we need energy it should be from renewables; if we have to burn something, make it hydrogen; use low carbon synthesis routes, eg steel and cement; and for difficult carbon emissions, offset them with land use.
