RefineryGermanyCO₂ reported

Total Leuna Refinery is a refinery in Germany with a reported capacity of 227,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by TotalEnergies SE. By capacity it ranks #6 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Germany. It emits about 2,810,434 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 655,113 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 47% above the median refinery.

在上下文中:该设施如何比较

在227,000 BBL per day时,Total Leuna Refinery是Germany中refinery的中位数远高于 120,000 BBL per day。 子部门:oil-and-gas-refining。 作为refinery,它需要强烈的工艺热量(通常200–600°C)来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量,通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%,将表面冷却至≤45°C,投资回收期通常不到2年。 炼油厂通过能源密集型蒸馏和裂化加热、分馏和化学转化原油为燃料和石化原料——对蒸汽发生和热回收要求极高。
