RefineryNetherlandsCO₂ reported

Shell Pernis Refinery is a refinery in Netherlands with a reported capacity of 447,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Shell PLC. By capacity it ranks #1 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Netherlands. It emits about 5,007,588 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,167,270 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 33% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 447,000 BBL per day Shell Pernis Refinery — це значно вище медіана refinery у Netherlands (192,000 BBL per day). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 16% 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.
