Honeywell was chosen for a feasibility study for lower-carbon hydrogen generation in Coffeyville, Kansas, by Coffeyville Resources & Marketing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, Inc. The research will look at how carbon capture and hydrogen purification may be used to reduce emissions.
Honeywell UOP Ecofining technology is being tested at the Coffeyville plant to convert seed oils, tallow, and white/yellow greases into renewable diesel fuel1. CVR and Honeywell will now look towards using lower-carbon hydrogen to further reduce the carbon impact at the Coffeyville plant.
Honeywell UOP carbon capture technology may recover higher than 99 percent2 of CO2 in current hydrogen plant syngas while enhancing high-purity hydrogen recovery, depending on the incoming gas composition and product needs. The carbon intensity of the connected fuel routes can be adjusted using the amount of net CO2 collected and sequestered by renewable fuel producers.
CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer, Dave Lamp, remarked, “We are thrilled to take another step in our study of decreased emissions.” “We’re interested to see if we can reduce the carbon intensity of this crucial product even further at Coffeyville by switching to lower-carbon hydrogen generation.”
“Refiners and businesses that produce and/or use hydrogen are searching for solutions to reduce carbon emissions. According to Barry Glickman, vice president, and general manager of Honeywell Sustainable Technology Technologies, “Honeywell has a portfolio of carbon capture and hydrogen purification solutions to minimize CO2.” “A feasibility study, like the one we’re doing for CVR, is one way to assist refiners and other businesses figure out which solution best fits their needs.”
