The rapid growth of the world economy is increasing the demand of energy day by day. It is predicted that in just 25 years, the world energy demand will be increased by 50%, and it is broadly considered that in a rather long period of time in the future, oil and natural gas will still be the main body of the primary energy. Facing the oil price continuously high, figures in petroleum industry generally state that oil and gas resources are sufficient, but the problem is how to rationally transport petroleum and petroleum products to the terminal consumers, i.e. this relies not on the availability of the resources, but on their deliverability. A lot of authoritative persons and petroleum experts state that one of the reasons causing high oil price is the limited oil refining capacity. The infrastructures of petroleum industry have made great changes. A big surplus in world oil refining capacity in the period of 1980s to 1990s has gone for ever. This limited oil refining capacity results in no room for manoeuvre in petroleum product supply and it is hard to deal with the challenges of increasing demand, which has become a bottleneck in the supply chain of petroleum products. The urgent problem to be solved at present is to expand the oil refining infrastructures, increase oil refining capacity, improve the efficiency of oil refining industry through scientific research and technological development, fully utilize crude oil resources, make efforts to develop and produce environment-friendly and clean petroleum products and make contributions to environment protection and social sustainable development.
Transportation is a big energy consumer in the world and fossil fuel amounts to 95% of its energy consumption. Motor fuel mainly relying on petroleum products will not be changed in a rather long period of time in the future. Facing the pressure from environment and people’s health protection, the specifications for motor fuel have been continuously changed worldwide. Economy grows up fast in Asia. Transportation trucks and private cars increase rapidly in number, which consumes a large amount of fuel and discharges the harmful emission to the densely populated Asia has become an increasingly serious social pressure. The utilization of unleaded and low-sulphur fuel as well as oxygenated compounds has become the main trend in the specification development of world oil fuel. Europe Union is continuously developing clean fuel, and its fuel specification is in the world leading position. Asian countries are also continuously changing their specifications to make contribution to environment protection. Based on the common objectives in sustainable development of the mankind, the strategic research, current status and the future trend on the specification development of motor fuel in Asia is an important issue attracting broad attention of the people.
In addition to the cost of feedstock one of the main cost components of the final refined products is the consumption of energy at refineries, particularly in those of higher complexity that utilize Hydrogen based processes. With current energy prices very significant cost reductions can be achieved with the implementation of energy efficiency measures. Innovative energy efficiency solutions, and their cost/benefit impacts, will be discussed in detail in this session. Moderator: Panellists: Moderator: Panellists: Moderator: Panellists:
