Portsmouth and Southampton (UK)

Hybrid: Refining in the Energy Transition

Date From 16th October 2025
Date To 16th October 2025
Location University of Southampton, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Highfield Campus, University Road, SO17 1BJ and online.

Overview

Join us for a hybrid event hosted by the University of Southampton exploring one of the most pressing challenges facing today��s energy sector: how traditional oil refineries can adapt to the energy transition while striving to deliver lower-carbon fuels.

Our keynote speaker, Tom Nixon, brings over 23 years of experience in the petrochemical industry, with deep expertise in refinery operations and profitability. In the past four years, his focus has shifted to the urgent task of decarbonising oil refineries and developing viable alternative fuels. He will share insights into the technical, economic, and operational hurdles faced by refineries, as well as the opportunities to drive meaningful change.

This session will also provide an opportunity to connect with our local member group, continuing the momentum built at our May launch event. Attendees will be able to engage in discussion, share perspectives, and strengthen professional networks in this critical area of energy transformation.

Whether joining in person at the University of Southampton or online, participants will gain valuable understanding of how the sector is responding to the transition toward a lower-carbon future.

The dwelling was entirely dark. I came close in the bright moonlight and hallooed. At my second hail the door came a small way open, and after a brief parley a man's voice bade me put up my horse and come in. The stable was a few steps to the right and rear. Returning, I took care to notice the form of the house: a hall from front to rear; one front and one rear room on each side of it; above the whole a low attic, probably occupied by the slave housemaids. "I didn't say it, Lieutenant; you said it." I could answer pleadingly that it were far better not to talk now. But she would go on, until in my helplessness I remarked how beautiful the day had been. Her eyes changed; she looked into mine with her calm inward-outward ken, and once more with smiling lips and suffering brow murmured, "Yes." I marvelled she should betray such wealth of meaning to such as I; yet it was like her splendid bravery to do it. "That's the man, sergeant," he said. "And I hope I have seen the last of him. Are you going to advertise those notes?" "Very strange indeed," the Countess said hoarsely. There is much in Mr. Mokveld's narrative to interest the historian. For example, he gives a 6 fuller account than we have yet had of that obscure period when Li��ge had fallen, but its northern forts were still holding out. But it is less a history of the campaign than a chronicle of those lesser incidents of war which reveal the character of the combatants. No more crushing indictment of German methods has been issued, the more crushing since it is so fair and reasonable. The author has very readily set down on the credit side any act of German humanity or courtesy which he witnessed or heard of. But the credit side is meagre and the black list of crimes portentous. Episodes like the burning of Vis�� and the treatment of British prisoners in the train at Landen would be hard to match in history for squalid horror. Dr. Beckers, Government veterinary surgeon at Veldwezelt, had also been taken to Bilsen as a hostage. The Germans asserted that the Belgians in Lanaeken had taken prisoner a German military veterinary surgeon who looked after the horses, and now intended to keep Dr. Beckers until the Belgians191 should have released the German military veterinary surgeon. studious career, when you deflect me with such worldly frivolities? Turning out of this high street blazing with lamps, were dens of prostitution, and dark, cut-throat alleys. This preference of pure abstract speculation to beneficent290 action may be traced to the influence of Aristotle. Some of the most enthusiastic expressions used by Plotinus in speaking of his supreme principle seem to have been suggested by the Metaphysics and the last book of the Nicomachean Ethics. The self-thinking thought of the Stagirite does not, indeed, take the highest rank with him. But it is retained in his system, and is only relegated to a secondary place because, for reasons which we shall explain hereafter, it does not fulfil equally well with Plato��s Idea of Good, the condition of absolute and indivisible unity, without which a first principle could not be conceived by any Greek philosopher. But this apparent return to the standpoint of the Republic really involves a still wider departure from its animating spirit. In other words, Plotinus differs from Aristotle as Aristotle himself had differed from Plato; he shares the same speculative tendency, and carries it to a greater extreme. Jeff��s face grew sober. He held up a hand, and pointed ahead, then opened the throttle, came onto a straightaway course over the hydroplane, rapidly overhauled it and got well ahead. Then, cutting the gun and gliding, as it came up under them, he signaled, and Dick, waiting, ignited a second flare. Chapter 5 At the end of the reign of Anne the shipping employed in commerce amounted to 448,000 tons, of which only 26,573 tons were foreign; so that the English mercantile shipping had increased, in little more than twelve years, 127,800 tons. At the end of the reign of George I. our mercantile shipping was only 456,000 tons, the foreign being 23,651 tons; so that the increase for the time was but slight. The royal navy had greatly decreased under George I. At the end of the reign of George II., the total amount of our commercial shipping was 573,978 tons, including 112,737 foreign. Thus, whilst the total shipping at the commencement of this period (in 1688) was only 244,788 tons, at the end of it (in 1760) the total was 573,978 tons, or a nett increase, in seventy-two years, of 329,190 tons: the increase being much larger than the total amount of tonnage possessed at the commencement of the period, the amount of foreign shipping remaining very nearly the same��in fact, only 12,000 tons more. The royal navy, which, at the commencement of the period, was reckoned at 101,892 tons, at the end of it was 321,104 tons, showing an increase of 219,212 tons; and, at the rate of men employed at the commencement, the number now employed in both our commercial and our national navy could not be fewer than 160,000 men. Wat and the Irishmen hastened to him. He felt "For the angel of death spread his wings on the blast, "History again," Albin said. He walked a few steps toward the window. "Anyhow, that was for war." "Realf of Grandturzel has got his bit all safe." Polling day broke gloomily on Rye Tories. The country voters were brought into town at the Candidates' expense, having received according to custom printed notices that the Colonel, or the Captain, "would endeavour to ensure to every elector access to the poll free from every sort of insult."
