Refineries are increasingly adopting carbon capture and
storage techniques to reduce CO2 emission levels in the atmosphere. This technique involves trapping of CO2 at
its emission source and transporting it to a different storage location which
is actively monitored and measured. This way CO2 is isolated from the
atmosphere, thereby reducing emission levels. For instance, Quest, a
partnership venture of Shell, Canada Energy and Chevron is fully integrated CCS
project that captures CO2 produced from refineries and prevents it from
entering the atmosphere by storing it in underground formations. Globally there
are about 15 large scale projects and 7 under construction projects with the
capacity to capture about 40 million tonnes CO2 per annum, thus indicating the
potential of CCS technology in minimizing carbon emissions.

According to The Business Research Company’s Consultant, Nitin
Gianchandani, to reduce the pollution levels,
companies have started adopting the gas to liquid technology which produce high
quality petroleum products. The gas to liquid technology is the conversion of
natural gas to high quality liquid products such as transportation fuels, motor
oils, naphtha, diesel and waxes. This technology uses natural gas as a
substitute to crude oil as gas and is considered to be the cleanest burning
fossil fuel and is abundant, versatile and easily affordable. The by- products
obtained by using the GTL technology are colorless, odorless and contain
negligent amounts of impurities. Shell[i],
Chevron[ii]
and PetroS have adopted this technology to produce transportation fuels, oils
and by products to produce plastics, detergents and cosmetics.
