Hydrogen is a significant raw material in petrochemical hydrogenation process (e.g., hydrocracking, hydrotreating), whereas steam has multiple uses within a refinery. Other studies on solar-thermal-assisted refineries are summarized here as follows. In Absi Halabi et al., the application of solar energy in the oil industry is reviewed.
Iran added a 210,000-b/d crude oil distillation unit to its existing Abadan refinery in March 2023 to be able to eventually replace one of the older units and alleviate some of the demand for lighter oil products. Operations will continue at the old unit at Abadan while sanctions remain in place.

Other studies in the literature considered coupling solar energy systems to oil refineries to decarbonize their operation. The applicability and feasibility of introducing a concentrated solar power (CSP) system to reduce partial reliance on process heaters of a crude oil refinery was studied by Danish et al. .
