RefineryNetherlandsCO₂ reported

Vitol Processing Rotterdam Refinery is a refinery in Netherlands with a reported capacity of 120,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Vitol . By capacity it ranks #5 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Netherlands. It emits about 665,990 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 155,242 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 34% below the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 120,000 BBL per day، يكون Vitol Processing Rotterdam Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في Netherlands (192,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 43% 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.
