RefineryIndiaCO₂ reported

IOCL Guwahati Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 24,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #19 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 353,801 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 82,471 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 75% above the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 24,000 BBL per day, IOCL Guwahati Refinery é abaixo de a mediana de refinery em India (210,000 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 5% acima 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.
