How modern refineries are integrating electrification, advanced catalysts, and digital operations to cut carbon while protecting margins — an operational playbook for 2026 and beyond.
Q4 2025 closed with asymmetric signals: refinery cracks improved in some regions while near-term renewables accelerated demand-side reductions. Here’s what traders and procurement leaders should watch in the first half of 2026.
A hands-on evaluation of the Flue Gas Analyzer Pro in heavy-duty refinery conditions. We tested accuracy, calibration stability, uptime, and total cost of ownership across two sites.
Quantum algorithms are leaving the lab and beginning to influence scheduling for large complex operations. This guide explains how to prototype QAOA for refinery scheduling, integrate classical fallbacks, and measure value.
We tested six safety wearables used on refinery floors in 2026 — from lone-worker beacons to biofeedback wearables. Here’s what works, what doesn’t, and how to select devices that respect privacy and operational needs.
DirhamPay's Layer‑2 instant settlement is live. For procurement and trading desks, instant settlement changes liquidity dynamics and counterparty credit assumptions. Here's a quick analysis of practical effects for refinery supply chains.
Edge AI is now practical for emissions reduction. This playbook shows where to apply models at the edge, how to validate them, and how to ensure safety and auditability in 2026 operations.
Audits and contractor visits remain essential in 2026. This guide covers travel logistics, hotel selection, visa considerations and how to manage contractor induction efficiently while keeping cost and carbon down.
Micro‑fulfillment and microgrids are reshaping local logistics and energy supply. This opinion piece argues why refineries should consider small, adjacent microgrids and micro‑fulfillment hubs to reduce operational risk and capture new revenue streams.
We ran three micro-events with local communities and contractors to improve safety outcomes and trust. Here’s a stepwise report on design, execution and measurable results.
