520 _aProduction of CO2 globally has been brought into sharp focus in recent times through declarations such as the Kyoto accord, and also by industry leaders committing to tangible reductions. These statements and accords have committed to a reduction in CO2 production compared to established benchmark levels. But what does this mean for the refiner or any other industry for that matter? To fully understand the CO2 issue, it must be looked at from: ; A global perspective ; A country perspective ; An industry perspective The global issue of CO2 reduction has already been distilled down into country specific targets by Kyoto, which differ across the globe. A large multi-national oil company will have operations spread across several industries and spread across countries and continents. Countries are likely to target specific industries to meet their Kyoto commitments, resulting in an initially confused picture for the refiner. To solve this problem, the refiner and oil company must look towards adopting a CO2 Management Strategy across their various enterprises. This will take into account global, country specific and industry targets and look to meet commitments through technology, alternate business ventures, CO2 trading and efficiency gains. The CO2 Management Strategy also looks at the impact of changes to a product train in terms of CO2 production when enhancements are made - do changes really reduce CO2 when challenged via one of the different perspectives outlined above? A global focus will lead to different solutions in different places to either a country or industry focus. This paper reviews the general CO2 issues, and focuses on the supply chain of an integrated oil major. The paper then focuses on the refinery itself, and reviews sources of CO2 from a refinery and their relative quantities, and reviews specific actions that a refiner can take. This shows how a refiner, with some smart targeting and decision making, can position his business enterprises in the global marketplace of the coming years and benefit from enhanced operation and efficiency.
