RefineryAfghanistanCO₂ reported

Ghazanfar Oil Refinery is a refinery in Afghanistan with a reported capacity of 30,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Ghazanfar Group LLC. It emits about 137,387 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 32,025 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 46% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 30,000 BBL per day ist Ghazanfar Oil Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Afghanistan (30,000 BBL per day). 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.
