The Asian Refining Technology Conference (ARTC) has issued a call for papers at its 28 – 29 October 2020 event in Singapore. The deadline for speaker abstract submission is 13 March 2020.
Even if you are not interested in presenting, you may decide to attend. And, even if you decide not to attend, you may be interested in perusing the list of topics.
I was.
Reading the list, I ran across a new-to-me buzz phrase … Refinery 2030. I interpret Refinery 2030 to be another way to refer to another buzz phrase, Refinery of the Future.
In any case, it is worth using the phrase in future Google® searches.
TIP: Google®: refinery 2030

Executive Viewpoint: A vision for the refinery of 2030
The refining business needs to change dramatically over the next decade.
Beck, R., Aspen Technology Inc.
The refining business needs to change dramatically over the next decade. Refinery executives worldwide are tuned to the signals of change, but some are not sure of the best course of action. What are the challenges? How will technology disrupt the hydrocarbon processing business? What is the path forward for future success?
The signs of change
The uptake of hybrid, electric and high-efficiency vehicles, along with the pace of renewable power, are key variables in forecasting hydrocarbon fuels demand. The market for petrochemical feedstocks depends both on economic growth in Asia and, conversely, a strong push to avoid non-recyclable plastics.
Momentum towards efficiency is driving integration from oil production to finished goods, while a recognition of the need for a positive environmental image for the energy industry is driving innovation in carbon capture and new uses for performance chemicals to reach a carbon-neutral balance.
Sustainability initiatives are steering refiners to implement ambitious programs to reduce both energy and water use in refining and chemicals. Global cybersecurity concerns are driving innovation to enable digital transformation, while simultaneously protecting the safety and integrity of strategic assets.
