Staatsolie Tout Lui Faut Refinery — Suriname

Refinery in Suriname. Approximate location 5.76422, -55.14909.

RefinerySurinameCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Staatsolie Tout Lui Faut Refinery is a refinery in Suriname. Its listed capacity is 15,000 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 Staatsolie. It emits about 64,416 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 50% below the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares

At 15,000 BBL per day, Staatsolie Tout Lui Faut Refinery is around the median refinery in Suriname (15,000 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.
