This episode dives down into the current FCC catalyst market, challenges facing the refining industry and how catalyst are playing a role in the solution, and where the FCC catalyst market is heading in the future.

In this episode, Erika Schiller sits down with Ken Chlapik, Global Market Manager for Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies. Ken is an expert in developing solutions that utilize JM's innovative low-carbon CLEANPACETM and ADVANCED REFORMINGTM technologies. Throughout his career, Ken has played a vital role in the growth of steam methane reforming (SMR) hydrogen utilization for clean fuel in the oil refining industry. During his tenure, the capacity of SMR-based hydrogen has tripled, and the hydrogen production is projected to increase dramatically in the next two decades as the world shifts towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources. Based in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, Ken holds a B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. Ken is a respected representative of JM at the Institute of Clean Air Companies – ICAC and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) screening committee, which recognized Ken with the prestigious Peter G. Andrews Lifetime Service Award. He is a prolific author, having published several articles lately exploring the acceleration of decarbonization in existing refining and petrochemical facilities, providing invaluable insights on achieving “A Running Start to Net Zero." Industrial facilities are responsible for 50% of the world's CO2 emissions, equivalent to 20 gigatons. Listen along as Erika and Ken dive into the topic of industrial decarbonization, breaking down the complex terms and acronyms as they go.

President Joe Biden has sent a letter to U.S. oil refiners to tell them that unprecedented profit margins are unacceptable, while calling for immediate action to improve capacity as the soaring price of gasoline feeds record inflation and fears of a recession. Biden said his administration was prepared to take steps that would help companies increase output in the near term, and said he's ordering Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to hold an emergency meeting on the subject in the coming days. Oil industry leaders pushed back, with Chet Thompson, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers association, saying, “Any suggestion that U.S. refiners are not doing our part to bring stability to the market is false.”

For someone who never thought he would end up in payments, Fleetcor Group President of North American Fuel Cards Alexey Gavrilenya sure has proven himself wrong. Having been with the company for more than 13 years, Alexey has overseen operations in Russia, London and now stateside in Atlanta. And he credits a lot of his success to his two passions: bringing the future forward and continually learning new things through a burning curiosity.Fleetcor is an established player in the payments space, with more than 20 years in the ecosystem, and a market cap of $20 billion. As for their core offering, they “help businesses be more effective by providing them best-in-class payment tools,” according to Alexey. Their model caters to a two-sided marketplace in that they not only work with customers, but they also acquire merchants and drive revenue to their bottom line. Their global headcount is around 10,000 employees, with a US presence of 2-3,000.When it comes to their competitive offering, one of the most important things they provide is competitive data analytics that enable significant value adds to their customers. Some examples of this include blending connected legal data with payment transactions to offer electrical payment solutions that allow customers to consciously impact their carbon footprint with carbon-neutral fleets. They can also authorize or decline in real-time based on location, use machine learning to provide credit lending options to SMBs and implement real-time fraud detection.In fact, felt cards generate less than half of their revenue annually. Tune in to hear more about this dynamic company from one of their seasoned leaders, including a glimpse into the future of fintech as it relates to big tech, embedded finance and going beyond payments for legacy players.

We had the pleasure of visiting with Chet Thompson, President and CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) for this week's session. Chet joined us live from Washington where he and his team are working relentlessly to advocate for domestic refiners, petrochemical and midstream companies as well as educating policymakers and the public on the value their members provide for our nation and the world. We had an engaging and timely discussion given the recent proposed tax increases on American refined energy and plastics as well as just the rapidly changing backdrop of rising energy prices globally.Our discussion begins with some background on AFPM and how they have grown since they were founded in 1902. Currently representing 60+ member companies and 300+ associate members, their focus is on policies, regulations, and legal challenges impacting the downstream sector. As part of their education efforts, AFPM has an entire campaign dedicated to displaying the role petrochemicals play in all of our lives, "We Make Progress." We covered the whole waterfront of issues with Chet and came away super impressed with the depth of what AFPM is doing for the energy transition debate.​​​​To kick off the session, the TPH crew shared current news and themes from this week: Mike Bradley ​​​​​shared energy commodity and equity weekly performance, fertilizer prices vs. Bloomberg's agricultural index and continued his segment of top energy headlines from the last 48 hours. Matt Portillo shared key takeaways after spending time on the road in NYC and Boston and gave us some teasers from his GM analyst day visit. Matthew Blair joined to set the petrochemical stage for our discussion with Chet and Colin Fenton compared the current $80 oil price to oil prices around the world and the odds that we reach $100 crude.----Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

Show #511   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 27th June 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.             Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Hello to new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ROBIN TANNER   Welcome to heatwave Europe. Where it's currently too hot to drive fast in Germany.   3 days left to buy you Tesla and get the current Federal Tax Credit: "The federal government provides a tax credit of $7,500 to buyers for the first 200,000 electric vehicles sold by each company. After a manufacturer sells that first tranche, the tax credit drops by half for cars sold over the next six months — then by half again for another six months before disappearing entirely."   TESLA'S SECRET BATTERY LAB There have been multiple clues to why Tesla is going their own route on battery cell production, without their long time partner Panasonic. Firstly if you go way back, look at Panasonic making positive noises about their plans with Toyota and Elon saying Panasonic hadn't hit capacity for Tesla. Generally when relationships are rock solid, people don't wash their dirty laundry in public. Then there have been more obvious things - a little while ago I tweeted the current jobs page on Tesla.com which was looking for people with experience in cell production logistics, and most recently it was Elon and JB exchanging badly-disguised giggles on stage when talking their plans. But all this has been widely reported by many websites and podcast like Ryan McCaffrey and Rob Mauerer's Tesla Daily for a while now. And today from CNBC: ""Tesla is developing the means to manufacture its own battery cells, according to five current and recent employees, something that the electric vehicle maker has relied on Panasonic to do since the companies signed an extensive partnership deal in 2014. Tesla employees conduct some of their battery cell manufacturing research at a “skunkworks lab” at the company’s Kato Road facility, a few minutes from its car plant in Fremont, California. Employees in Tesla’s battery R&D teams are now focused on designing and prototyping advanced lithium ion battery cells, as well as new equipment and processes that could allow Tesla to produce cells in high volumes, employees and former employees said."   https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/26/tesla-secret-lab-building-battery-cells-to-reduce-panasonic-dependency.html   TESLA TO EXPAND IN UKRAINE AND EASTERN EUROPE "Ukraine is now being considered as another Eastern European country Tesla Inc. plans to expand into as it seeks to establish itself in more geographical markets." reports IB TImes: "With Tesla entrenched in Western Europe, the only direction left to go to is east. Tesla is finally expanding towards Eastern Europe in response to pleas from the few Tesla owners in this region. It’s already known Tesla will first expand into the Czech Republic."   https://www.ibtimes.com/tesla-expand-ukraine-eastern-europe-says-musk-2803317   BMW SAYS DIESELS WILL STILL BE AROUND FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS Earlier this week I told you about the BMW electric plans, but just to recap: "At this week’s #NEXTGen event held in Munich, BMW unveiled the rather intriguing Vision M Next concept to signal what could turn into a production hybrid sports coupe with 600 horsepower. It would be one of the many electrified models planned by the Bavarians as the company has set a new objective to have 25 electrified cars on sale by 2023, with more than half of these to eschew the combustion engine altogether. A plug-in hybrid model from the BMW M division has already been confirmed, with a fully electric M car slated to arrive after the middle of the next decade." according to Motor1.   https://www.motor1.com/news/356878/bmw-says-diesels-survive-20-years/   E-BIKE OR E-SCOOTER? "It has the silhouette of a mountain bike, but instead of pedals it has platforms that can take you up to 45 km / h! A zero-emission proposal that we have tried in preview in the center of Prague" reports InsideEVs Italia: "Technically it has been defined as a "crossover of individual micro-mobility ", but in reality Klement is something different. It is not an e-bike or even an e-scooter or even a hoverboard even if it shares some logic. by tilting the platforms forward it accelerates, while backwards it decelerates and, by the way, the front hydraulic brake system is equipped with ABS . And if you are wondering if the braking power is not excessive, the answer is "absolutely not" given the performances that are achieved. The two lithium batteries, each with 52 cells , have a total capacity of 1.25kWh and ensure an autonomy of 62 km "   CAR MAKERS VS. THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY "GM, like a fleet of other car manufacturers, is seeking the extension of a tax break that has for a decade helped sustain the sale of cars that need little to no gasoline to run." reports The Washington Post today: "This has triggered an intense lobbying battle with oil and natural gas companies, which supply the fuel that runs the internal-combustion engines that dominate American roadways. Derrick Morgan, senior vice president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, said he has “met with dozens and dozens” of lawmakers to highlight the high cost of the tax break. Proponents of the credit argue that the oil industry has received similarly sized tax breaks."   https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/06/25/lobbying-battle-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-its-car-makers-vs-oil-gas-industry   HOW THE 710 HP ELECTRIC 5 SERIES DEVELOPMENT CAR WORKS From David Tracy at Jalopnik who gives us more details on the BMW test BEV "BMW calls it “Lucy.” It’s 710 horsepower, 848 lb-ft, triple-electric-motor, one-off sedan that the automaker says can do 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds. Lucy’s being used to develop future electric vehicles, and after getting a ride in this modified 5 Series, I can tell you that the thing is an absolute monster. [It's] a G30 BMW 5 Series which had its floor modified to fit a 45 kWh battery, and its internal combustion engine replaced by three electric motors. Up front, though, the power electronics are integrated into a roughly 220-pound (100 kilogram) cast aluminum case that houses a motor and gearbox in what BMW dubs its “fifth-generation drive unit,” also called “HEAT.” Cooling the 200 kW HEAT up front—a drive unit design also found on the upcoming iX3 crossover—is both water and oil, and BMW claims the setup has a maintenance-free target of over 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers)."   https://jalopnik.com/i-rode-in-bmws-absurd-710-hp-electric-5-series-developm-1835820250   GE’S 12 MEGAWATT HALIADE-X OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE DESTINED FOR TESTING IN THE UK "GE Renewable Energy announced this week that its 12 megawatt (MW) Haliade-X offshore wind turbine will head to the United Kingdom as part of an advanced technology testing program at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult’s site in Blyth." says CleanTechnica: "GE Renewable Energy’s 12 MW Haliade-X behemoth is set to be the largest wind turbine in the world when it begins shipping in 2021, and will measure in at 260 meters in height and boast a 220-meter rotor, capable of generating enough clean electricity for 16,000 households all on its own." “We want to bring the most powerful offshore wind turbine to the world’s largest offshore wind market and contribute with our technology to support the UK’s Offshore Wind Sector Deal goal (30 GW by 2030)" - John Lavelle, President & CEO of GE’s Offshore Wind business.   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/06/26/ges-12-megawatt-haliade-x-offshore-wind-turbine-destined-for-testing-in-the-uk/   AKASOL ENTERS NORTH AMERICAN MARKET WITH NEW PRODUCTION FACILITY With almost 30 years’ experience in battery systems technology, AKASOL develops and manufactures high-performance lithium-ion battery systems for buses, commercial vehicles, trains, industrial vehicles and the marine sector.
