Petroleum Refining (1.A.1.b)
Significant energy is used in the process of refining and distilling crude oil into secondary petroleum products. The emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels related to these activities are reported here. However, this category does not include evaporative emissions (i.e., fugitive methane emissions from petroleum systems) or fuels used as feedstocks and non-energy uses.

• How did the Party collect activity data from petroleum refining facilities?
• How did the Party account for fossil fuel feedstocks and non-energy uses?
• How has the Party distinguished between emissions from petrochemical manufacturing facilities and petroleum refining facilities?
• Has a carbon mass balance approach been used to account for all fossil fuel inputs and outputs (e.g., emissions, fuel products, process energy consumption, feedstocks, and other non-energy uses)?
