RefineryNigerCO₂ reported
SORAZ Refinery is a refinery in Niger 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 Government of Nigeria . It emits about 81,557 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 19,011 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 52% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-40040655.
Bei 20,000 BBL per day ist SORAZ Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Niger (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.
