RefineryGhanaCO₂ reported

Platon Gas Oil Refnery is a refinery in Ghana with a reported capacity of 2,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Ghana. It emits about 8,409 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,960 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 50% below the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 2,000 BBL per day Platon Gas Oil Refnery — це нижче медіана refinery у Ghana (40,000 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.
