RefineryDenmarkCO₂ reported

Kalundborg Refinery is a refinery in Denmark with a reported capacity of 110,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Klesch Group Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 oil refineries tracked in Denmark. It emits about 1,243,236 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 289,799 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 34% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 110,000 BBL per day, Kalundborg Refinery jest około medianę refinery w Denmark (110,000 BBL per day). 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.
