Hydrogen Use in Refineries

Comparative assessment of hydrogen and natural gas use.

Overview

A comparative assessment of hydrogen and natural gas use within refinery operations, evaluating decarbonisation potential and the practical constraints of switching feedstocks.

Problem / Context

Refineries are a hard-to-abate sector with established natural gas infrastructure; understanding the realistic decarbonisation potential of hydrogen substitution required a grounded technical comparison.

Approach / Methodology

Comparative technical and environmental assessment of hydrogen versus natural gas use cases within refinery processes.

Key Insights

  • Hydrogen substitution offers meaningful decarbonisation potential in specific refinery processes, but infrastructure and supply constraints remain significant.
