In interviews from 2021 and 2022, Bryan Glover stated that hydrocarbons will remain a significant part of the global energy mix for some time and emphasized the importance of using them as efficiently as possible during the transition to a lower-carbon future. He said the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is well-positioned for lower-carbon solutions due to its combination of upstream production and downstream refining, which he said creates opportunities for carbon capture and storage and for tailoring products to lower carbon intensity. Glover described the repurposing of existing refinery assets into biorefineries as a "very strong growing thread" in the industry. Glover discussed challenges for developing a hydrogen economy, stating that green hydrogen will take longer to develop because it requires significant growth in renewable primary energy sources to ensure a net reduction in greenhouse gas intensity. He also noted that the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated the peak in fuels consumption by up to five years due to changes in working habits and energy use. Glover advocated for collaboration across the value chain, saying that conferences and conversations help stakeholders understand each other's challenges and opportunities to accelerate progress on decarbonization.
“UOP has been focused for quite a few years now on trying to do what it is I think UOP has always done best and that's to bring a wide range of solutions to help with energy transition emissions management and so rather than focus on one area we've been focusing in a broad range of areas and this includes everything fro...”
“We were very excited earlier this year that we were selected for a very large project that Exxon Mobile is planning in the US in Baytown Texas where they're going to produce blue hydrogen and capture and sequester up to 7 million tons a year of CO2 so that's very exciting and it really shows the rapid advance of that t...”
“hydrocarbons are going to be with us for quite some time certainly the amount of primary energy that's provided by hydrocarbons today will take some time for that to be displaced by other energy needs so I think in the meantime it's important that we all do the most we can with the hydrocarbon usage that we have today...”
“the region in general is well positioned to bring lower carbon solutions to the industry... having Downstream in combination with production increases opportunities for things like carbon capture and storage... the fact that the region in many cases is exporting products gives the region an opportunity to tailor the pr...”
“I think refinery the future refining for the future will involve heavy petrochemicals and really trying to to minimize the number of processing steps to get to those petrochemicals and as well minimize the amount of hydrogen that we deploy because typically hydrogen is the tool we use in a refinery one to break down la...”
“For green hydrogen you know we certainly see this being an important element going forward of decarbonization but but one that maybe takes a little bit longer to develop because it does require significant growth of renewable primary energy sources in order to make sure that green hydrogen production truly is a net red...”
“I think that's one thing driving customers today but with those closures there's a fair amount of operators who are looking to repurpose at least some of those assets right so so closing a full refinery and turning it into a biorefinery processing non-edible vegetable or animal fats and oils to produce diesel and keros...”
“I think longer term the realization that the peak in fuels consumption is likely to come maybe up to five years earlier now than it would have pre-covid because one not only has the current demand been reset but working habits and working from home versus working in an office and different ways of shopping I think are...”
