RefinerySpainCO₂ reported
CEPSA Gibraltar-San Roque Refinery is a refinery in Spain with a reported capacity of 240,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Cepsa . By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Spain. It emits about 2,211,146 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 515,419 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753783.
Bei 240,000 BBL per day ist CEPSA Gibraltar-San Roque Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Spain (186,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 21% unter dem Medianwert von refinery. Untersektor: oil-and-gas-refining. Als refinery benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 200–600°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Raffinerien wärmen auf, fraktionieren und chemisch transformieren Rohöl durch energieintensive Destillation und Cracken in Brennstoffe und petrochemische Rohstoffe — extrem anspruchsvoll für Dampfzeugung und Wärmenutzung.
