PetrochemicalGermanyCO₂ reported
Shell & DEA Oil GMBH , Wesseling is a petrochemical in Germany with a reported capacity of 310,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Shell PLC. By capacity it ranks #8 of 9 petrochemical plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 388,702 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 90,607 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648360.
عند 310,000 t of ethylene، يكون Shell & DEA Oil GMBH , Wesseling أقل من متوسط petrochemical في Germany (565,000 t of ethylene). القطاع الفرعي: petrochemical-steam-cracking. كـ petrochemical، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 300–800°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 مصافي البتروكيماويات بتكسير الهيدروكربونات عند درجات حرارة عالية جداً لإنتاج الإثيلين والبروبيلين والمواد الكيميائية الأساسية الأخرى — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية كثافة في الحرارة.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
