RefineryPeruCO₂ reported

Petroperu Talara Refinery is a refinery in Peru with a reported capacity of 95,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petroperu . By capacity it ranks #2 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Peru. It emits about 672,643 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 156,793 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% below the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 95,000 BBL per day, Petroperu Talara Refinery é bem acima de a mediana de refinery em Peru (15,500 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 33% 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.
