Rosneft Nizhnevartovsk Refinery — Russian Federation
Refinery in Russian Federation. Approximate location 60.98358, 76.4485.
RefineryRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Rosneft Nizhnevartovsk Refinery is a refinery in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 30,000 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 Rosneft PJSC. By capacity it ranks #32 among 32 oil refineries in Russian Federation. It emits about 183,357 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.08% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 29% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares
At 30,000 BBL per day, Rosneft Nizhnevartovsk Refinery is below 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.
