RefineryChinaCO₂ reported

Yanchang Shaanxi Yan'an Refinery is a refinery in China with a reported capacity of 100,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #62 of 148 oil refineries tracked in China. It emits about 1,248,931 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 291,126 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 47% above the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 100,500 BBL per day، يكون Yanchang Shaanxi Yan'an Refinery حوالي متوسط refinery في China (95,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 51% أعلى 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.
