First session: follow the flow of crude oil through a BP refinery to learn how the “oil is boiled” through processes that result in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquid natural gas, asphalt, butane, and inputs to aluminum. Information will be provided on logistics of the business, regulatory compliance, and marketplace. Second session: We will examine future challenges in transitioning to new energy sources to meet growing global energy needs with a lower carbon footprint. Engineers are innovating sources of energy from wind turbines, solar, and bio-fuels in addition to making traditional fuels greener. We will examine how offsets, low carbon fuel credits, and other BP programs reduce the global carbon footprint. We will discuss the pros and cons of the multiple alternative fuels available and the complexities of advancing the energy transition from oil to alternatives. Registration ends May 11
