Refinery Integration – Furthering The Pyrolysis
Pathway (3)
• Even with technical hurdles for moving down the Fuels and Chemicals
roadmap there are synergistic options with the existing industry;
– in a pulp and paper facility through a hydrogen source such as sodium chlorate
or biomass gasification,
– or in a sawmill through a hydrogen source such as biomass gasification.
• The technical hurdles don’t however rule out the pyrolysis pathway as heat
and power options can still be exercised.
• Key to the long term success of this roadmap will be partnerships with the
petroleum industry.
