RefineryGreeceCO₂ reported

Motor Oil Hellas Corinth Refinery is a refinery in Greece with a reported capacity of 200,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Motor Oil . By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Greece. It emits about 2,450,025 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 571,101 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 45% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 200,000 BBL per day Motor Oil Hellas Corinth Refinery — це значно вище медіана refinery у Greece (148,000 BBL per day). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 19% вище медіани refinery. 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.
