ENEOS Oita Refinery — Japan
Refinery in Japan. Approximate location 33.27183, 131.68739.
RefineryJapanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
ENEOS Oita Refinery is a refinery in Japan. Its listed capacity is 136,000 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 ENEOS Corp. By capacity it ranks #14 among 19 oil refineries in Japan. It emits about 1,090,460 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.67% of the CO₂e from the 105 facilities in Japan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 7% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-712502.

In context: how this facility compares
At 136,000 BBL per day, ENEOS Oita Refinery is around the median refinery in Japan (145,000 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.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions
At its reported 1.1M t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), ENEOS Oita Refinery carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €82.2M/yr.

Local climate
ENEOS Oita Refinery sits in a humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa), at 33.3°N in the northern hemisphere.
Köppen zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C4 — High), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1344 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.03× the loss at a 20 °C reference. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
