RefineryGreeceCO₂ reported

Hellenic Petroleum Elefsina Refinery is a refinery in Greece with a reported capacity of 106,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Hellenic Petroleum . By capacity it ranks #3 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Greece. It emits about 1,094,934 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 255,229 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 22% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 106,000 BBL per day Hellenic Petroleum Elefsina Refinery — це нижче медіана refinery у Greece (148,000 BBL per day). Підсектор: oil-and-gas-refining. Як refinery, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 200–600°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Нафтопереробні заводи нагрівають, фракціонують і хімічно трансформують сиру нафту у паливо та нафтохімічну сировину шляхом енергомісткої дистиляції та крекінгу — надзвичайно вимогливі до генерування пари та рекуперації тепла.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
