Federated Co-operatives Limited Refinery Complex — Canada
Refinery in Canada. Approximate location 50.48571, -104.57656.
RefineryCanadaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Federated Co-operatives Limited Refinery Complex is a refinery in Canada. Its listed capacity is 130,000 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 Federated Co-operatives Ltd. By capacity it ranks #5 among 17 oil refineries in Canada. It emits about 1,271,348 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.8% of the CO₂e from the 127 facilities in Canada that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 14% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 130,000 BBL per day, Federated Co-operatives Limited Refinery Complex is well above the median refinery in Canada (85,000 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.

Local climate
Federated Co-operatives Limited Refinery Complex sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 50.5°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 mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1416 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.09× 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.
