Shell Corunna Refinery

Shell Corunna Refinery is a refinery in Canada with a reported capacity of 85,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Shell PLC. By capacity it ranks #10 of 18 oil refineries tracked in Canada. It emits about 848,610 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 197,811 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753458.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 85,000 BBL per day Shell Corunna Refinery — это ниже медианная refinery в Canada (112,000 BBL per day). Подсектор: oil-and-gas-refining. Как refinery, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 200–600°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Нефтеперерабатывающие заводы нагревают, фракционируют и химически преобразуют сырую нефть в топливо и нефтехимическое сырьё путём энергоёмкой дистилляции и крекинга — чрезвычайно требовательны к генерации пара и рекуперации тепла.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
