Naftan Oil Refinery — Belarus
Refinery in Belarus. Approximate location 55.52336, 28.55569.
RefineryBelarusCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Naftan Oil Refinery is a refinery in Belarus. Its listed capacity is 240,000 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. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 oil refineries in Belarus. It emits about 1,656,899 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 21% of the CO₂e from the 12 facilities in Belarus that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 20% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 240,000 BBL per day, Naftan Oil Refinery is around the median refinery in Belarus (240,000 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
Naftan Oil Refinery sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 55.5°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 humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1446 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.11× 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.
