Paul Ronald Robinson (born August 6, 1950) is an American chemist, engineer, author, and educator best known for his work in petroleum refining, hydrogen production, real-time process optimization, and sustainable energy technologies. Over a 46-year career, Robinson has made notable contributions to hydroprocessing, hydrogen network modeling, sulfur recovery, and catalyst research and development. He has also served as a global consultant and educator in industrial safety and refinery operations.

Robinson was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Jefferson City Senior High School in Jefferson City, Missouri. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with high honors from the University of Missouri in 1972, followed by an A.M. in Chemistry in 1973. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego in 1977, which included two years of research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Robinson began his academic career as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 1976 to 1978. He then joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1978–1981), where he worked on thermochemical cycles for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and splitting CO₂ into oxygen and carbon monoxide.

From 1981 to 1995, he held a range of research, development, and technical sales positions at Unocal, including Regional Manager, Licensing for Japan and Southeast Asia. He later joined Aspen Technologywhere he became a senior advisor and best practice leader, contributing to software tools for hydrocracking and refinery-wide optimization. He also participated in numerous hydrogen network optimization studies.

Robinson held technology support roles at Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), Shell Global Solutions, and KBR before joining Topsoe in Denmark (2018–2023), where he served as Lead Engineer for Global Hydrocracking. He now heads the Katy Institute for Sustainable Energy, a consultancy focused on safety training and minimizing waste in petroleum refineries.

Robinson's research and technical interests span:

• Hydrocracking and hydrotreating catalysts and process technology
• Software development for hydrocracker optimization and hydrogen management
• Thermochemical water and CO₂ splitting
• Sulfur removal and recovery in offshore and onshore refining
• Industrial safety
• Climate change education

He has authored over 90 technical publications, chaired numerous scientific symposia, and holds 12 U.S. and international patents.

Robinson is co-author or editor of several prominent technical books, including:

• Petroleum Science and Technology: Upstream and Midstream (Springer, 2024)
• Petroleum Science and Technology: Downstream (Springer, 2024)
• Petroleum Science and Technology (Springer, 2019)
• Springer Handbook of Petroleum Technology (Springer, 2017)
• Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing, Vols. I & II (Springer, 2006)

He has also contributed chapters to:

• Kent and Riegel’s Handbook of Industrial Chemistry and Biotechnology
• Hydroprocessing of Heavy Oils and Residua
• Advances in Clean Hydrocarbon Fuel Processing

In addition to his early academic role, Robinson has delivered numerous industry courses on refinery operations and industrial safety. He has lectured at the University of Texas at Austin, Florida State University, and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and led webinars on hydrogen network optimization and sustainable energy.

As a Traveling Lecturer for the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (1979–1981), he spoke nationwide on hydrogen energy systems.
