Overview

Join us for a compelling webinar with Lummus Technology's Chief Decarbonization Officer, Jose de Barros, as he outlines a roadmap to sustainable steam cracking.

Steam crackers are essential for producing the building blocks of the modern chemical industry, but they are also significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, the decarbonization of these facilities is paramount. This webinar will explore the innovative technologies and strategies available to achieve this critical goal.

Mr. de Barros will present a comprehensive roadmap for decarbonizing steam crackers, covering a range of cutting-edge solutions, including:

• GTI
• OCT
• CAPH
• Electrification of cracking furnaces
• Hydrogen firing
• PyPol recycling
• Integration of bio-based feedstocks

This is a must-attend event for chemical engineers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable chemical manufacturing.
