RefineryTaiwanCO₂ reported
Formosa Mailiao Refinery is a refinery in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 540,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Formosa Petrochemical Corp. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 oil refineries tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 5,457,833 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,272,222 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 20% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144132.
Bei 540,000 BBL per day ist Formosa Mailiao Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Taiwan (400,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 27% über 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.
