A factor that is often ignored is that bunker fuel is an inevitability of the refining process. It’s not like you can stop making it without stopping other fuel production. So it’s either going to get burned or disposed of some other way.
- Ographer 3y agoOil is naturally occurring and just because it exists doesn't mean we need to burn every component of it, releasing it into the atmosphere. Bunker fuel could hypothetically be re-injected into depleted reservoirs, much like brine water which is a useless byproduct of production. This would increase production costs of other components but at the benefit of the world's climate.
