Overview

The substantial shift in the transport market with banning of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK from 2030 and deeper changes in 2035 will drive major change in demand for refined products. Similar scale changes would be created by the global marine fleet moving away from burning heavy fuel oils. Refineries will be looking to adapt to these market changes as the economy progresses towards net zero. This feasibility study, sponsored by BEIS and involving Essar Oil (UK) and Progressive Energy Ltd. has evaluated an approach that refineries might adopt in the transition away from carbon towards hydrogen.
