RefineryUnited KingdomCO₂e estimate (modelled)
Esso Fawley Southampton Refinery is a refinery in United Kingdom. Its listed capacity is 262,000 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. Climate TRACE records an estimated 2,404,168 tonnes CO₂e for 2024, using 100-year global warming potentials. The source assigns low confidence to this estimate. It is not a site measurement. The owner listed in the source dataset is Exxon Mobil Corp. By capacity it ranks #2 among 6 oil refineries in United Kingdom.
