In November, as each year, EURENCO attended to ERTC for 2 days of lectures. More than 500 international oil players (including 200 refiners), gathered altogether to get an overview of the European refining market, its challenges and latest technologies.
More than ever, the topics such as overcapacity, stringent regulations and fierce competition, increases the pressure throughout the world. Therefore, to reverse this trend and maintain high profitability, the European refiners should now focus on 5 work axis: reliability, efficiency, flexibility, process improvement and innovation & technology.
Some examples to help refineries optimizing their costs and keeping this industry competitive, were shared such as more efficient catalysts, additives addition, new biofuels and biomass conversions.
Those lectures, through 3 presentations and roundtables, enabled the attendees to be informed on the industrialized technologies and even on current projects still under development.
We are looking forward to meeting you next year in Athens, for the 22nd ERTC edition!
