complexes today. Each facility will have different approaches to meeting goals, objectives, and timelines while staying within budgetary constraints. Changes will require opera- tional, tactical, and strategic decisions that can range from no or low cost to significant capital investments. The Honeywell UOP Six Efficiencies framework can drive these changes. It emphasizes doing more with less while delivering bankable and ESG-focused project solutions. Challenges facing refineries are expected to increase, requiring continued innovation in equipment, catalyst, pro- cess design, control systems, and data collection to decar- bonise existing assets. An effective way to collect these ideas is through a col- laborative Concept Development Workshop that leads into an Emissions Reduction Roadmap. This roadmap provides the refiner with an understanding of how each solution can impact emissions reduction, along with its cost or return on investment. These roadmaps can be instrumental in identi- fying what projects to take on now, like RecoveryMax, and which ones to tackle later.
