Energy consumption and atmospheric emissions from refined petroleum in Mexico by 2030

One of the basic needs for a country’s economic development is to cover major fuel demand, and both energy consumption environmental impacts resulting from production such fuels need be fast reliable. The purpose this paper contribute an estimate atmospheric emissions some pollutant species reported by Pemex Refinacion under different projections. predictive model was applied considering four gasoline demand scenarios, as well refining technology options satisfy needs, based on yields: types refineries, three crude oils eight processes. Emission estimates were determined applying emission factors, type fossil source used in direct heating processes vapor generation, using electric energy. Results show that equivalent relative total greater complex refineries (full conversion); however, conversion efficiency allows smaller volume needed with lower other technologies. Mexico’s possible adapt themselves operation changes crude’s yield, quality product, variations prices refined products. Therefore, important develop apply perspectives than maximize productivity minimize consumption, reducing air emissions, constant change scenarios. Finally, problem would then evaluating which more convenient obtain socio-economic benefit: reduce atmosphere or costs refinery.
