RefineryGermanyCO₂ reported
Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein Karlsruhe Refinery is a refinery in Germany with a reported capacity of 313,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Rosneft Deutschland GmbH. By capacity it ranks #2 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Germany. It emits about 3,875,180 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 903,305 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 47% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143891.
Bei 313,000 BBL per day ist Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein Karlsruhe Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Germany (120,000 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.
