Energy Efficiency Benchmarking For Refining - India's Case Study
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Indian refineries are under increasing pressure to curb carbon emissions, with a US$50/ton carbon price potentially reducing net cash margins by up to US$3 per barrel. This report explores how energy efficiency is becoming a strategic imperative to safeguard profitability in a low-carbon future. Leveraging our proprietary PetroPlan models, we benchmark refinery energy performance across India, normalising for crude throughput and Energy Complexity Index (ECI). Nearly 50% of Indian refineries fall below the national average. The report also highlights the growing adoption of Advanced Process Control (APC), Real-Time Optimisation (RTO), and participation in the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s PAT scheme—demonstrating how refiners are driving energy optimisation and emissions reduction. These actions mark a critical first step in India’s long-term pathway to net-zero refining.
