Title in different languages: Comparative study of Fuel Switch as a decarbonization strategy in Latin American refinery complexes

Abstract: This study investigates Fuel Switch as a decarbonization strategy for Latin American refineries. It covers the refining process, emissions, and operations. The focus is on using low-emission fuels like biogas or syngas to reduce greenhouse gases. The research includes the production of biogas from organic waste and various implementation scenarios for Fuel Switch. It also examines the economic and energetic impacts on refineries and assesses the feasibility of operational changes. The goal is to understand Fuel Switch's potential to address environmental issues in refinery operations through combined research and case studies.
