Dongying Aoxing Petrochemical Refinery — China

Refinery in China. Approximate location 37.00994, 118.37918.

RefineryChinaCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Dongying Aoxing Petrochemical Refinery is a refinery in China. 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 Dongying Aoxing Petrochemical Co Ltd. It emits about 255,473 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE.

In context: how this facility compares

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.
