An Eastern European oil refinery wanted to improve its energy efficiency and reduce emissions. The refinery sought a clear, data-driven understanding of energy performance and a roadmap to deliver measurable, sustainable, and profitable improvements.
KBC applied its Strategic Energy Review (SER) methodology to perform a comprehensive, site-wide assessment. Using advanced benchmarking, energy modeling, and optimization techniques, KBC identified performance gaps and developed an Investment RoadMap to guide implementation and maximize returns.
The review uncovered $20 million per year in potential energy savings, equivalent to 15% of total energy use, while reducing CO₂ emissions by 17.5%. Implementing the roadmap would move the refinery’s energy performance from third quartile to first quartile in KBC’s global benchmarking, achieving world-class efficiency.
