What 71,162 t CO₂e a year looks like

This facility's estimated annual CO₂e (Climate TRACE, modelled) in everyday equivalents from the US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies calculator:

1.3kmillion cubic feet of natural gas burned
15khomes' electricity use for a year
71kacres of US forest absorbing CO₂ for a year

Equivalencies: US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies. Emissions: Climate TRACE.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions

At its reported 71k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), St. Paul Park Refining Company, LLC carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €5.4M/yr.

Measured CO₂: 879k t/yr — verified GHGRP (reporting year 2023) (1135% above the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 71k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1428 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.10× 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.
