Specifications, Emissions, Quality Monitoring, and the Future of Low-Carbon Fuels

This intensive 5-day programme delivers a modern, practical understanding of clean fuel production, quality control, and emissions standards in rapidly evolving downstream markets. The course guides participants through fuel chemistry, refining configurations, and product specifications for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and marine fuels, before progressing into blending strategies, aviation fuels, marine regulations, and future low-carbon pathways. Through case studies and hands-on exercises—including compliant gasoline blending and fuel quality monitoring design—delegates gain applied insight into ultra-low sulfur fuels, emissions compliance, and emerging alternatives such as biofuels, GTL, hydrogen blends, and synthetic e-fuels, supported by digital tools for traceability and quality assurance.


Why this course is important

Energy markets are transitioning toward cleaner fuels, placing increasing pressure on refiners, regulators, and downstream operators to meet tighter specifications while remaining commercially competitive. This programme directly addresses that challenge by building capability in fuel chemistry, blending economics, and emissions control. Participants develop a clear understanding of ultra-low sulfur fuel production, regional clean fuel standards, and the operational impact of new refining capacity, while also learning how to identify fuel adulteration, manage logistics risks, and apply monitoring technologies. With strong emphasis on future fuels and emissions standards linked to air quality, the course equips professionals to support compliance today while preparing strategically for the energy transition.


Who should attend

This course is ideal for:

  • Refinery and downstream operations engineers
  • Fuel quality and laboratory specialists
  • HSE and emissions compliance officers
  • Corporate planning and economics managers
  • Government regulators (energy, environment, standards bodies)
  • Supply chain and logistics professionals in fuel distribution
  • Journalists and analysts covering fuel markets

What you will learn

Across five highly practical days, participants will gain in-depth knowledge of:

  • Clean fuel chemistry, crude oil fractions, assays, and refinery configurations (hydrocrackers, desulfurisation, reformers)
  • Product specifications for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and marine fuels, plus the shift toward ultra-low sulfur standards
  • Gasoline blending processes (NHT, CCR, isomerisation, alkylation) and testing parameters including octane, volatility, sulfur, benzene, and RVP
  • Bioethanol blending, clean octane strategies, and detecting fuel adulteration
  • Jet A-1 properties, testing methods, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) pathways (HEFA, FT, ATJ)
  • Diesel chemistry, ULSD production, cetane, lubricity, cold flow, and bunker fuel requirements under IMO 2020
  • Emissions standards and their relationship to urban air quality
  • Monitoring technologies including laboratory testing, portable analysers, blockchain, IoT, and AI for compliance and traceability
  • Low-carbon fuel options such as biofuels, GTL, hydrogen blends, and synthetic e-fuels
  • Strategic pathways for clean fuels and energy transition, culminating in a group workshop to design a fuel quality monitoring programme

Participants are taught by a highly experienced chemical engineering consultant with over 30 years of refinery technology, operations, and management expertise, ensuring learning is grounded in real operational practice.
