VP, Technology
Research Program
In support of our corporate mission of providing energy and improving lives, R&D conducts research for four purposes.
Use sound science to support future environmental regulations.
Develop I identify cost effective solutions for compliance with current air/water/fuel
regulations. Optimize operations in refining and mid-stream to increase safety, reliability, performance
and commercial agility.
Develop I evaluate new lines of business to provide commercially viable alternative energy
solutions that meet future regulatory requirements and societal demands and provides new business opportunities for Phillips 66.
a)
Biofuels / Cellulosic
10
Review research results and commercial viability of biofuels from a variety offeedstock including
animal, vegetable/oil seed and cellulosic materials.
b)

Environmental 15
Basic research to support rule making process
Water and air research to extend current understanding of chemical, biological and environmental mechanisms leading to particulate matter formation from volatile organic compounds; the role of background ozone in Ozone NAAQS; nutrient impact on algae growth and water aerosols leading to particulate matter.
0
Water
Research that enables reductions in water use, use of lower-quality water, and compliance
with present and future discharge regulations including heavy metal levels and nutrients.
0
Air
Extending the understanding of origin, transport and transformation of VOCs, particulate
matter, and ozone by utilizing experimental and modeling techniques.
c)

Organic Photovoltaics
(OPV)
Development of OPV technology based on environmentally friendly, carbon-derived
polymers. Properties of OPVs are being improved through the design, synthesis and testing
of advanced polymers with high thermal stability and photon efficiency.
0
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
{SOFC)
Development of solid oxide fuel cell technology for production of electrical power directly
from natural gas. Research focuses on improving materials, fuel cell performance, and stack
design for longer lifetime and lower cost.
0
Energy Storage
Energy storage is, at its core, capturing usable energy at one point in time for use at another
time, particularly when it is needed most and/or more valuable. Unlike any other asset on
the grid, energy storage can play multiple roles, acting as both load (consumer) and capacity
(generator) depending on whether it is absorbing excess generation or feeding back into the
grid. Storage technologies based on batteries (particularly Lithium Ion) are growing rapidly,
offering a greater degree offlexibility, especially related to incorporation of greater amounts
of renewable electricity into the power mix.
d)
Refining and fuels
optimization
10
How Phillips 66 Technology leverages its legacy, world class facilities and people to optimize
refining and fuels production for improved cost and efficiency as well as anticipating the types of
fuels needed in the future.
Optional Additional Topics (10 minutes each)
1.
Octane for CAFE
improvements
In order to achieve higher fuel economy, new engine designs need higher octane. Phillips 66 is
doing research to meet this greater octane need.
2.
Ethanol blend models
(octane boost/vapor pressure)
Blending ethanol into hydrocarbon fuels is not straight forward. There are ways to maximize the
boost in octane from ethanol and minimize the increase in vapor pressure.
3.
Enable maximum shale
crude processing
Shale crudes are lighter in AP/ compared to our historical crude diet and highly variable. Phillips
66 Technology is developing options to increase our flexibility to maximize shale crude use when
economically viable.
