On the sidelines of the 113th Ministerial Meeting of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), a team from the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) was honored for winning the first place of the OAPEC Scientific Award 2022 in the field of ‘Decarbonization Technologies in the Petroleum Industry and the Circular Carbon Economy’.
The research was submitted under the title ‘Decarbonization and Circular Carbon Economy in the Oil and Gas Field Implications for OAPEC Countries’.
The award comes as a continuation of the organization’s policy towards encouraging scientific research and researchers and publishing scientific research in areas that could contribute to the development and improvement of industries related to petroleum and energy in all their forms in the Arab world.
The research offers a comprehensive analysis of the circular carbon economy, detailing various technologies for decarbonization and emission reduction in the oil and gas industries. This is presented within the context of the urgent need to combat global climate change and aligns with international efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Additionally, the study provides an overview of global carbon emission rates and their sources across different stages of oil and gas production and manufacturing.
