RefineryJapanCO₂ reported

Idemitsu Kosan Keihin Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 70,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #20 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 767,457 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 178,894 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 70,000 BBL per day, Idemitsu Kosan Keihin Refinery jest poniżej medianę refinery w Japan (145,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 28% powyżej medianę refinery. Podsektor: oil-and-gas-refining. Jako refinery, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 200–600°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Rafinerie ogrzewają, frakcjonują i chemicznie transformują ropę naftową w paliwa i surowce petrochemiczne poprzez destylację i krekowanie o wysokim natężeniu energii — niezwykle wymagające w stosunku do generowania pary i odzysku ciepła.
