RefineryGermanyCO₂ reported
Wilhelmshaven Refinery is a refinery in Germany with a reported capacity of 260,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by HES International BV. By capacity it ranks #4 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Germany. It emits about 802,097 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 186,969 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 63% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143895.
Bei 260,000 BBL per day ist Wilhelmshaven Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Germany (120,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 75% 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.
