Description

The results of refining processes are all around us, from the fuel in our cars, to the plastics that keep food fresh, to the asphalt on our streets, and beyond. But while refining in general is ubiquitous, there are challenges, including cyclical demand, efficiency and emissions requirements, and maintaining profitability. In this comprehensive interview, Brian Heasley, KBR’s global director of Refining and Clean Fuels, discusses current obstacles refiners face, including policy hurdles and barriers to entry for clean fuel, and how they can capitalize on opportunities through product diversification, circularity and refining residue oil.
