RefineryCanadaCO₂ reported

Valero Jean-Gaulin Refinery is a refinery in Canada with a reported capacity of 265,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Valero Energy Corp. By capacity it ranks #2 of 18 oil refineries tracked in Canada. It emits about 2,459,580 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 573,329 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% above the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 265,000 BBL per day Valero Jean-Gaulin Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в Canada (112,000 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 7% 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.
