KBR outlines phased decarbonization pathways for downstream refining and petrochemical operations

KBR published an industry analysis outlining decarbonization pathways for downstream refining and petrochemical operations, emphasizing phased emissions reductions rather than single end-state targets.
The analysis cited IEA figures reported by Reuters that global oil demand is expected to rise in 2026 by 860,000 bpd, and in 2025 by 830,000 bpd.
It identified hydrogen production units, high-temperature furnaces, steam crackers, and fluid catalytic cracking units as major emissions sources that can be prioritized after establishing a site-wide emissions baseline.
The report described regional policy differences affecting investment decisions, including the EU ETS and CBAM in Europe and tax-credit support under the Inflation Reduction Act in the US.
It said near-term options include energy efficiency and heat recovery, while longer-term pathways include low-carbon hydrogen, electrification of high-temperature processes, and carbon capture tied to shared transport and storage infrastructure.
