RefineryGreeceCO₂ reported

Hellenic Petroleum Thessaloniki Refinery is a refinery in Greece with a reported capacity of 90,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Hellenic Petroleum . By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Greece. It emits about 562,937 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 131,221 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 26% below the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 90,000 BBL per day, Hellenic Petroleum Thessaloniki Refinery é abaixo de a mediana de refinery em Greece (148,000 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 39% abaixo de a mediana de refinery. Subsetor: oil-and-gas-refining. Como refinery, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 200–600°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As refinarias aquecem, fracionam e transformam quimicamente o petróleo bruto em combustíveis e matérias-primas petroquímicas através de destilação e craqueamento que consomem muita energia — extremamente exigentes em geração de vapor e recuperação de calor.
