Measures and Practices for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction in Oil Depot Stations under the "Dual Carbon" Goals

Abstract

Energy conservation and consumption reduction are vital for alleviating energy constraints and advancing ecological civilization. Within energy management, improving efficiency at oil depot stations represents a critical scenario and leverage point for achieving broader energy-saving and emission-reduction targets. These stations bear significant responsibility for enabling green development and pioneering energy efficiency. This paper examines the context of China's "Dual Carbon" (Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality) goals. It begins by analyzing the current energy consumption patterns and carbon emission structures of oil depot stations, highlighting their substantial potential for improvement. Subsequently, from three perspectives—energy substitution, energy-saving technology upgrades, and oil vapor recovery and emission reduction—it systematically explores the application of renewable energy sources (e.g., photovoltaic, wind, geothermal) and the principles, benefits, and implementation strategies of key technologies like variable frequency drives and waste heat recovery. The paper also provides an in-depth analysis of optimization paths and intelligent development trends for oil vapor recovery technologies. Finally, based on identified trends such as intelligentization and integration, it proposes specific recommendations targeting policy environments and corporate practices. The aim is to offer theoretical reference and practical guidance for oil depot stations and related energy enterprises in formulating scientific, viable pathways for energy saving, emission reduction, and sustainable green development.
