Source notes for this refinery (verbatim)

Coordinates are from the EEA Industrial Emissions Portal (IED Annex I activity 1.2, Refining of mineral oil and gas), reporting year 2024, queried via the EEA DiscoData SQL API on 2026-09-22; see https://industry.eea.europa.eu/. Capacity is 'Saras (8) Sarroch (CA) 15,0' million tonnes/year technical-balanced as at 1 January 2024, Unem statistical appendix 2025 on MASE data; footnote (8) reads 'Raffineria acquisita da Vitol nel 2024', which is the citation for the Vitol ownership. NOT VERIFIED from the operator: every Saras/Sarlux page tried (sarlux.saras.it/en/the-sarlux-refinery/, sarlux.saras.it/en/, saras.it/en/what-we-do/refining) returned an empty body - a JavaScript shell with no extractable text - so no operator-published capacity, port or pipeline figure could be read, and those fields are left empty rather than guessed. For reference only, IEA Energy Policy Review Italy 2023 Table 9.1 lists 'Sarroch Saras 300' kb/d (https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/71b328b3-3e5b-4c04-8a22-3ead575b3a9a/Italy_2023_EnergyPolicyReview.pdf); no tonnes-to-barrels conversion was made. The EEA register lists the installation as 'Sarlux srl - Impianto Complesso "Raffineria + IGCC"', 'functional' in reporting year 2024; the site includes an IGCC power plant alongside the refinery.
