PetrochemicalItalyCO₂ reported
Versalis SPA, Priolo is a petrochemical in Italy with a reported capacity of 530,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Eni SpA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 petrochemical plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 664,556 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 154,908 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 7% below the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731848.
À 530,000 t of ethylene, Versalis SPA, Priolo est autour de la médiane des petrochemical en Italy (530,000 t of ethylene). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 15% en dessous de la médiane des petrochemical. Sous-secteur: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Comme petrochemical, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 300–800°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les usines pétrochimiques craquent les hydrocarbures à des températures très élevées pour produire l'éthylène, le propylène et d'autres produits chimiques de base — l'un des processus industriels les plus intensifs en chaleur.
