CONTENTS Dear Readers
We are pleased to share with you the new direction that we are taking with Petro Industry News. Following on from readers’ comments and the way that the energy industry is evolving we’re now calling the journal PIN which will be refl ected across our newsletters and website. We’re expanding and evolving as the petrochemical and chemical industries are by expanding our content to cover topics and the wider concerns of the energy industry.
We’ll be introducing new feature topics and news on clean energy, renewables, refi nery integration, and sustainability. In addition, we’ll be exploring and highlighting applications on chemical and plastics recycling techniques and expanding our biofuel content to include alternative fuel sources.
Marcus Pattison Director of Publications SAFETY
Of course, we will continue to highlight the latest monitoring and analysis technology used for conventional fuels and lubricants, which currently accounts for over 90% of global energy supply.
We’re dedicated to bringing you the latest news and trends in the industry, and we want to hear from you too! Let us know what subjects you’d like to see covered in our upcoming issues. Come join us and stay up to date with the fast-paced and ever-changing world of energy!
We look forward to your comments and feedback.
