Gibson Energy Moose Jaw Refinery

Gibson Energy Moose Jaw Refinery is a refinery in Canada with a reported capacity of 22,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Gibson Energy Inc. By capacity it ranks #15 of 18 oil refineries tracked in Canada. It emits about 290,040 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 67,608 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 56% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143780.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 22,000 BBL per day, Gibson Energy Moose Jaw Refinery está por debajo de la mediana de refinery en Canada (112,000 BBL per day). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 32% por encima de la mediana de refinery. Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. Como refinery, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 200–600°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las refinerías calientan, fraccionan y transforman químicamente el petróleo crudo en combustibles y materias primas petroquímicas mediante destilación y craqueo que consumen mucha energía — extremadamente exigentes en generación de vapor y recuperación de calor.
