Refinery Hydrogen Review: Outlook for Growth to 2030
Hart Energy Publishing, Aug 2011
This outlook provides forecasts of global incremental refinery hydrogen requirements through 2030. Hydrogen demand is forecast by geographic regions (North America, Latin America, Europe, Russia/CIS, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa) over 5-year increments from 2010 through 2030. The incremental hydrogen demand is also characterized in terms of source of demand: hydrocracking, distillate hydrotreating and other hydroprocessing. The forecast also quantifies anticipated change in supply from gasoline reforming versus on-purpose refinery / merchant production.
Highlights of the report:
- The refining industry will require more than 14 trillion SCF of on-purpose hydrogen to meet processing requirements between 2010 and 2030.
- Asia Pacific and the Middle East will represent nearly 40% of global requirements.
- Despite completion of most ultra low sulfur on-road transportation fuel requirements, North America and Europe will represent the largest portion of incremental hydrogen demand during the first half of this decade.
- Nearly 2/3 of incremental refinery hydrogen demand will be for expanding hydrocracking operations.
