RefinerySouth KoreaCO₂ reported
GS-Caltex Yeosu Refinery is a refinery in South Korea with a reported capacity of 744,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #2 of 9 oil refineries tracked in South Korea. It emits about 8,882,869 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 2,070,599 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 41% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-712514.
Bei 744,000 BBL per day ist GS-Caltex Yeosu Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in South Korea (256,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 111% 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.
