RefineryAlgeriaCO₂ reported
Sonatrach Hassi Messaoud Refinery is a refinery in Algeria with a reported capacity of 22,150 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sonatrach SpA. By capacity it ranks #5 of 6 oil refineries tracked in Algeria. It emits about 121,666 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 28,360 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143720.
Bei 22,150 BBL per day ist Sonatrach Hassi Messaoud Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in Algeria (75,513 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 45% 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.
