Uniper Fujairah Refinery — United Arab Emirates
Refinery in United Arab Emirates. Approximate location 25.19408, 56.35578.
RefineryUnited Arab EmiratesCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Uniper Fujairah Refinery is a refinery in United Arab Emirates. Its listed capacity is 65,000 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 #4 among 5 oil refineries in United Arab Emirates. It emits about 381,712 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.89% of the CO₂e from the 25 facilities in United Arab Emirates that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 32% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144158.

In context: how this facility compares
At 65,000 BBL per day, Uniper Fujairah Refinery is around the median refinery in United Arab Emirates (80,000 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
Uniper Fujairah Refinery sits in a hot desert climate zone (Köppen BWh), at 25.2°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 an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1219 W/m² to ambient — roughly 0.94× 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. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
