In general liquid fuels are produced by the processing of crude oils carried out in refineries. To evaluate the refining sector to evaluate such a complex sector, a detailed methodology was used, not commonly used in global IAMs. The capacities of all existing process units were compiled by the OGJ (2011) database and a refining simulation tool called CAESER (Carbon and Energy Strategy Analysis for Refineries), described in GUEDES (2015) and GUEDES et al.(2016) was used. With this tool, the oil products production profile and the utilities consumption for each region were estimated, albeit in a simplified form.
One major advantage of the approach used in this study, besides the detailing of energy products and consistent energy consumption associated, is that it allows estimating the CO2 emissions related to process emissions, such as those associated with Hydrogen Generation Unit (HGU) and Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units.
For future expansions, the approach was to provide two refinery configurations: a high naphtha yield greenfield refinery and a high diesel yield greenfield refinery. The proposed refinery schemes (presented in <xr id="fig:Refineries"/>) were optimized in CAESER to provide the highest yield possible for the desired main product.
