Koch Industries Corpus Christi West Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 268,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Koch Industries Inc. By capacity it ranks #18 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 2,420,901 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 564,313 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% above the median refinery.

عند 268,500 BBL per day، يكون Koch Industries Corpus Christi West Refinery أعلى بكثير من متوسط refinery في United States (93,500 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 7% أقل من متوسط refinery. القطاع الفرعي: oil-and-gas-refining. كـ refinery، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 200–600°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم المصافي بتسخين وتجزئة وتحويل النفط الخام كيميائياً إلى الوقود والمواد الخام البتروكيميائية من خلال التقطير والتكسير اللذين يتطلبان طاقة كثيفة — متطلبة بشكل استثنائي لتوليد البخار وتعافي الحرارة.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
