3. How do carbon emissions impact refinery competitiveness?
One of the key challenges for the refining sector is decarbonisation – reducing emissions will be critical in order to meet net-zero targets. The cost of carbon is rising - but exposure to carbon costs varies considerably across refiners. In this video Emma Fox explores this further.

4. What factors are important when considering which sites are at risk of closing by 2030?
In order to have a complete view on closure risks for assets in the future we've considered several factors: Margins, complexity, integration, strategic value and carbon exposure. In this video, Raul Calzada answers two key questions; what type of sites are most at risk of closing and what regions are going to be most affected by refinery closures?
