MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery — Slovakia
Refinery in Slovakia. Approximate location 48.12126, 17.18012.
RefinerySlovakiaCO₂ estimate (modelled)
MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery is a refinery in Slovakia. Its listed capacity is 124,000 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 MOL Group. It emits about 1,397,127 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 12% of the CO₂e from the 19 facilities in Slovakia that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 31% above the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-712620.

In context: how this facility compares
At 124,000 BBL per day, MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery is around the median refinery in Slovakia (124,000 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
MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery sits in a temperate oceanic climate zone (Köppen Cfb), at 48.1°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 humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1399 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.08× 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.
