Revolutionizing Energy Transition with KBC Petro-SIM by Yokogawa

Scope 3 Emissions Reduction - A Key Challenge

Tackling Scope 3 emissions is a critical challenge in today's energy transition landscape. Shifting towards energy sources that do not rely on the exothermic oxidation of fossil carbon necessitates a complete revamp of feedstocks, products, and value chains. The demand for alternative products like hydrogen, ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, and renewable diesel is growing, and the technology behind them is well-established. However, a crucial question remains - where will the feedstocks come from to support this transformation?

Net Zero Fuels and the Future of Energy Supply

Looking towards the future in 2050, access to feedstocks with zero or negative carbon intensity will be as essential as access to traditional crude oil and natural gas stocks. Ensuring a seamless transition to new fuels and chemicals involves keeping abreast of rapidly evolving technology for converting these feedstocks into viable products. KBC, through its comprehensive assessments, provides insights into the compatibility, profitability, and operability of these new alternatives, offering an independent perspective separate from traditional vendors. Multiflash® is the primary tool employed for thorough characterization of the expanding range of renewable feedstocks.

Renewable Feedstocks and Sustainable Solutions
