Chinese scientists develop new oil refining method that may cut energy use by 90% - South China Morning Post
Why now
Thesis: Efficiency breakthrough could lower long-term refining energy costs
Catalyst to watch: Commercial scaling or industry adoption news
Main risk: Unproven at commercial scale
Why it matters
A refining method claiming large energy savings, if commercialized, could lower long-run refining costs and energy demand, pressuring crude demand expectations.
