ENAP Gregorio Refinery — Chile
Refinery in Chile. Approximate location -52.62381, -70.20292.
RefineryChileCO₂ estimate (modelled)
ENAP Gregorio Refinery is a refinery in Chile. Its listed capacity is 18,000 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. By capacity it ranks #3 among 3 oil refineries in Chile. It emits about 94,138 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.2% of the CO₂e from the 20 facilities in Chile that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 39% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753466.

In context: how this facility compares
At 18,000 BBL per day, ENAP Gregorio Refinery is below the median refinery in Chile (104,000 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.
