Oil refining in Southeast Asia is becoming high-tech
Бьюн
The oil refining industry in Southeast Asia is becoming high-tech. The industry is experiencing the emergence of high value-added products such as plastics or polyethylene, as well as the growth of bioenergy and artificial intelligence.

William Il Young Byun, CEO and Managing Director of New ASEAN Energy Inc (Singapore), member of the International Committee of the Global Energy Prize, stated this at the plenary session “Image of the Future: Forecasts and Opportunities for the Fuel and Energy Complex”, which took place at the “Oil Capital” conference in Khanty-Mansiysk.

According to him, the countries of Southeast Asia are gradually turning from ordinary crude oil consumers into regional exporters of high value-added petrochemical products. “The countries of Southeast Asia, which previously purchased crude oil for processing into fuel to supply the domestic market, are increasingly developing petrochemical production, including the production of plastic, polyethylene and other products, to supply them to the markets of the region,” – he said.

At the same time, another trend is visible, namely the gradual development of the production of bioplastics and biofuels, which will complement and develop traditional petrochemicals. In addition, the petrochemical industry is increasingly using artificial intelligence systems to optimise production. “We are facing innovations such as Big Data. Modern processing industries produce a large amount of data and the use of artificial intelligence technologies is designed to increase production efficiency,” the expert noted.

Gas-fired power plants account for 60% of Africa’s generating capacity growth

The capacity of all types of power plants in Africa grew by 145 GW between 2000 and 2021, which is comparable to the capacity of the available wind generators in the United States (141 GW). According to the Ember research centre estimates, gas-fired thermal power plants (TPPs) provided 60% of the growth, coal-fired TPPs, fuel oil and diesel generators – 17%, whereas all renewable sources (RES) accounted for 23%.

Distributed generation capacity in Brazil exceeded that of gas-fired power plants

The number of distributed generation systems in Brazil reached 1.8 million units in the first quarter of 2023; their total capacity is 19 GW, which exceeds the capacity of all gas-fired power plants operating in the country (14.5 GW). Such data are provided by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of Energy with reference to the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica, ANEEL).
