Decarbonisation options for ExxonMobil Chemicals Rotterdam
report
ExxonMobil Chemicals in the Netherlands operates the Rotterdam Aromatics Plant (RAP), Rotterdam Oxo-Alcohol Plant (ROP) and the Rotterdam Plasticizers Plant (RPP). The RAP and RPP are located in Botlek, forming a network of shared utilities and raw materials with the Esso refinery. The main products, CO2 emissions, thermal energy and electricity use for the RAP, ROP and RPP are summarized in the table below. The direct CO2 emissions are attributed to production activities such as use of boilers and furnaces, production of heat and electricity and production of hydrogen (on-site and external). Most of the processes other than the ones mentioned previously are based on novel technology that
ExxonMobil developed. It is, therefore, not possible to know, for example, the efficiencies of each process. This report uses publicly available literature to estimate such parameters.
