Oil refiners adding renewable feedstock to produce cleaner fuels, executives say

Renewable Feedstocks in Oil Refining: Oil refiners are increasingly blending renewable feedstocks, like used cooking oil, into their processes to meet the demand for cleaner fuels, leading to a rise in the need for catalysts and additives to purify these bio-feedstocks.

Shift Towards Petrochemicals: Refineries are adapting to lower transportation fuel demand due to electric vehicles by focusing on producing more petrochemicals, with Bharat Petroleum planning to increase its petrochemical output significantly through a new refinery in Andhra Pradesh.
