RefineryParaguayCO₂ reported
Petropar Villa Elisa Refinery is a refinery in Paraguay with a reported capacity of 7,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petróleos Paraguayos SA. It emits about 32,208 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 7,508 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 49% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144051.
Bei 7,500 BBL per day ist Petropar Villa Elisa Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Paraguay (7,500 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.
