RefinerySaudi ArabiaCO₂ reported

YASREF Yanbu Refinery is a refinery in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 400,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by China Petrochemical Corp. By capacity it ranks #6 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 3,444,326 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 802,873 cars.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 400,000 BBL per day YASREF Yanbu Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в Saudi Arabia (400,000 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 18% 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.
