LUKOIL Volgograd Refinery — Russian Federation
Refinery in Russian Federation. Approximate location 48.50495, 44.65074.
RefineryRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
LUKOIL Volgograd Refinery is a refinery in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 314,000 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 LUKOIL PJSC. By capacity it ranks #6 among 32 oil refineries in Russian Federation. It emits about 3,366,582 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 1.4% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 25% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 314,000 BBL per day, LUKOIL Volgograd Refinery is well above the median refinery in Russian Federation (166,000 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.
