RefineryArgentinaCO₂ reported

Raizen Buenos Aires Refinery is a refinery in Argentina with a reported capacity of 112,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Cosan SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 8 oil refineries tracked in Argentina. It emits about 703,193 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 163,914 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 26% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 112,000 BBL per day ist Raizen Buenos Aires Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Argentina (100,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 39% unter 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.
