Ukrtatnafta Kremenchuk Refinery — Ukraine
Refinery in Ukraine. Approximate location 49.16027, 33.46353.
RefineryUkraineCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Ukrtatnafta Kremenchuk Refinery is a refinery in Ukraine. Its listed capacity is 368,000 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 Naftogaz of Ukraine JSC. By capacity it ranks #1 among 6 oil refineries in Ukraine. It emits about 841,073 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 3.3% of the CO₂e from the 25 facilities in Ukraine that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 73% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144149.

In context: how this facility compares
At 368,000 BBL per day, Ukrtatnafta Kremenchuk Refinery is well above the median refinery in Ukraine (137,000 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
Ukrtatnafta Kremenchuk Refinery sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate zone (Köppen Dfb), at 49.2°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 thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1419 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.09× 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.
