Chevron Salt Lake City Refinery
Refinery in United States. Approximate location 40.82474, -111.92394.
RefineryUnited StatesCO₂e estimate (modelled)
Chevron Salt Lake City Refinery is a refinery in United States. Its listed capacity is 54,720 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. Climate TRACE records an estimated 583,031 tonnes CO₂e for 2024, using 100-year global warming potentials. The source assigns medium confidence to this estimate. It is not a site measurement. The owner listed in the source dataset is Chevron Corp. By capacity it ranks #86 among 119 oil refineries in United States.
Emissions source: Climate TRACE, id ct-1753356; reporting year 2024; CO₂e, 100-year GWP. Other facility context retains its separate dataset snapshot.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753356.

Limits of this comparison
- Measured CO2 and modelled CO2e are not identical accounting constructs.
- The crosswalk is an entity match, not proof that reporting boundaries are identical.
- The EPA figure is for 2023 and the Climate TRACE figure is for 2024. This is not a same-year comparison or a measurement of annual change.

In context: how this facility compares
At 54,720 BBL per day, Chevron Salt Lake City Refinery is below the median refinery in United States (89,200 BBL per day). Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. The engineering reference used here for refinery is 200–600°C. This is not a measured operating temperature or confirmation of the equipment used at this facility. 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.
Listed capacity and capacity-normalised annual CO₂e comparisons use Climate TRACE industrial facilities data. These are not emissions per unit of actual production; sector role is based on engineering reference.
