RefineryLaosCO₂ reported

Lao Petroleum and Chemical Company Refinery is a refinery in Laos with a reported capacity of 20,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Lao-China JV Investment . It emits about 91,347 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 21,293 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 46% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 20,000 BBL per day ist Lao Petroleum and Chemical Company Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Laos (20,000 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.
