RefineryAlgeriaCO₂ reported

Sonatrach Skikda Condensate Refinery is a refinery in Algeria with a reported capacity of 100,684 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sonatrach SpA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 oil refineries tracked in Algeria. It emits about 553,039 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 128,914 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% below the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 100,684 BBL per day Sonatrach Skikda Condensate Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в Algeria (75,513 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 45% ниже медианной refinery. 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.
