RefineryBrazilCO₂ reported

Petrobras LUBNOR Fortaleza Refinery is a refinery in Brazil with a reported capacity of 8,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petróleo Brasileiro SA. By capacity it ranks #13 of 13 oil refineries tracked in Brazil. It emits about 61,476 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 14,330 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

8,000 BBL per day'de, Petrobras LUBNOR Fortaleza Refinery Brazil'daki refinery'lerin medyanı altında 170,000 BBL per day'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si refinery'nin medyanı altında kabaca 29%'dir. Alt sektör: oil-and-gas-refining. refinery olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 200–600°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Rafineriler, enerji yoğun destilasyon ve kraking yoluyla ham petrolü yakıtlara ve petrokimya hammaddelerine ısıtır, fraksiyonlar ve kimyasal olarak dönüştürür — buhar üretimi ve ısı geri kazanımı için son derece taleplidir.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
