How solar and hydrocarbons can work together
He points to Marathon Petroleum''s Illinois refinery using solar power to build on its sustainability performance, with the refinery being part of a project to install solar panels on adjacent
Renewable Energy Integration in Refineries: The Role
Solar and wind energy are emerging as viable options to power refinery operations, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting operational costs.
How Solar Energy is Revolutionizing Oil and Gas Production
The integration of solar energy in oil and gas production aligns with global sustainability targets while offering practical operational benefits. Industry analysts project that solar integration
From challenge to opportunity: Enhancing oil refinery plants with
The study explores the feasibility of incorporating solar, wind, and biomass energy sources alongside the existing Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power plant and grid connection to
Solar-assisted hybrid oil heating system for heavy refinery
The present study investigates the feasibility of solar hybrid system to generate steam in the oil refinery to maintain the tem-perature of heavy crude oil products before despatching from storage tanks.
Frontiers | Distributed clean energy opportunities for US oil refinery
Because most refinery processes do not have a direct use for heat and thermal energy is primarily needed in the form of steam, we modeled a solar thermal system that generates steam
Texas oil refinery powers third of operations with solar energy
The project is believed to be the second-largest utility scale solar complex in the Corpus Christi area and the first solar project in Texas to provide onsite, self-generated electricity directly to
Analysis of a Solar‐Assisted Crude Oil Refinery System
This paper proposes a solar-assisted method for a petrochemical refinery, considering hydrogen production deployed in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, as a case study to greenize oil refineries.
Solar-assisted hybrid oil heating system for heavy refinery product storage
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential use of solar energy within an oil refinery to reduce its fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
