| Comment | Fuel combustion for process energy causes greenhouse gas emissions from oil refineries, and lower-quality oil requires more intensive processing and more energy. This analysis compares process intensity and energy with oil input quality across U.S. refining districts during 2003-2007. Refining lower-quality oils caused a large increase in refinery energy and emissions intensity, and could cause a very large further increase in emissions/barrel if the ongoing shift to lower-quality oil refining continues. Limiting the worsening quality of refinery oil inputs is critical to our environmental health. |
