The session covers the current market scenario, refining capacity expansion plans, crude oil imports export, impact of geopolitical situation on crude oil trading and price regulations
Diversifying the end-end refining process
India is diversifying its crude oil procurement to combat high oil prices charged by suppliers and to fulfil the domestic demands. The session focuses on covering investment on new projects for expansion and integration of plants strengthening the refineries’ competency in petrochemicals, renewables, alternatives fuels and hydrogen, hence diversifying the complete process from imports to end-products with use of advanced process and chemical technologies at plant.
Moving towards the circular economy
The session focuses on lowering the carbon footprints of refineries by using bio – fuels as feedstock; 2G biofuels; re-usable and recyclable waste to produce crude oil like plastic pyrolysis; hydrogen mandate for refineries. The session will also cover the technology imperatives for alternate fuels - conversion and blending.
Latest Trends in Digitalization of Refineries and Petrochemical Plants
Hear from the Industry on their experience, challenges in way to modernize the facility and the expectation from the vendors. The session apprises on the emerging technologies Viz. Cloud, IOT, AI, ML, Blockchain and more
Refining and Petrochemicals: Envisioning the future
The session aims to envision the future of country as Petrochemical Hub, current market dynamics, growth and bottlenecks, Government initiatives and new petrochemical projects. Various expansion and integration projects; case studies; focusing on need for refiners to rethink design and operation to capture the growing petrochemical demand by increasing their output to produce more petrochemical feedstocks. The session will also highlight the Refineries to adapt technology for direct crude oil to chemical conversion (COTC)
Creating a self – resilient model for Indian Petrochemical Industry
The session focuses on envisioning India as a Petrochemical Hub and emerging as one of the best investment destinations in the world. There is a need to build an eco-system for Petrochemical Industry to flourish in the country, highlighting the importance of Atmanirbhar Bharat which insists on need to increase the exports and reduce the imports
