AGOCO Sarir Refinery — Libya
Refinery in Libya. Approximate location 29.24833, 21.55264.
RefineryLibyaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
AGOCO Sarir Refinery is a refinery in Libya. Its listed capacity is 10,000 BBL per day. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery. It is operated by National Oil Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 among 5 oil refineries in Libya. It emits about 53,535 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.2% of the CO₂e from the 11 facilities in Libya that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 38% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144012.

In context: how this facility compares
At 10,000 BBL per day, AGOCO Sarir Refinery is below the median refinery in Libya (20,000 BBL per day). Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. As refinery, it requires high process heat (typically 200–600°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery.
