In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast we’re joined by Geoff Moody, Senior Vice President for Government Relations and Policy at American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), to review the first year of President Trump’s second term in office.

We’ll consider the impact that the Trump administration has had on fuel policy in the US, examining:

• The US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) tailpipe emissions standards.
• Energy policy reform.
• The Renewable Fuel Standard.
• And much more.

In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast, Alec Cusick, Owens Corning Technical Lead, Technical Insulation, joins us to talk about the risks of LNG pool fires and methodologies to mitigate these risks.

Alec discusses active and passive solutions, including Owens Corning’s FOAMGLAS PFS System.

We discuss recent testing that was performed on the FOAMGLAS PFS System, and how the results can help LNG facility designers meet regulations and make their facilities safer.

In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast, Andrea Bombardi, Executive Vice President, RINA, guides us through some of the key challenges and opportunities of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) implementation.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Where CCUS fits into the long-term energy landscape.
• Lessons learned from CO₂ pipeline transport trials globally.
• Regional differences in how CCUS is being approached.
• Unique challenges or opportunities when applying CCUS to refineries and petrochemical plants.
• How CCUS is becoming integrated with other decarbonisation pathways in the downstream sector.
