07 01 02 03 04 05 06 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 08 09 10 11 32 Under the Decree-Law No. 194/2000 - Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC Directive) - Matosinhos refi nery holds an Environmental Permit (No. 190/2008) which systematizes and meets all legal environmental requirements. In addition to this license Matosinhos refi nery holds a greenhouse gas emission permit, TEGEE n. 197.05.II in the amount of 1,098,095 CO 2 emission permits in 2011. On November 2011 Environmental Permit no. 190/2008 has been replaced by Environmental Permit no. 190/0.2/2011. All data concerning 2011 are thus presented according to limits set in Environmental Permit no. 190/2008 as well as the limits and/or considerations of Environmental Permit no. 190/0.2/2011 whenever pertinent. 7.1 Resource consumption Given the signifi cance of its use as well as its environmental signifi cance, this chapter presents information and indicators relating to water consumption and energy. Resource consumption The water that Matosinhos refi nery uses for industrial purposes comes from Água do Noroeste and INDAQUA (used for human consumption and exceptionally in industrial activities) and may also come from surface water catchment of the River Ave (ETA Vilarinho), to be used in the industrial activity, including cooling and steam generation processes. The fi rst two sources are considered to be potable water. The following graph shows the water total consumption, as well as the amount of recycled water from the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Station (WWTP) and then reused. Water consumption and recycled (10 3 m 3 ) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 469 458 478 896 891 Water consumption Recycled water 2,508 2,447 2,689 2,890 2,893 The year 2011 followed the trend of recent years in terms of gradual reduction of fresh water consumption, noting a decrease of 2% over the year 2010. Simultaneously, there was the reuse of 891,206 m 3 of treated water, in line with the previous year, taking advantage of the storage infrastructure created in 2009. Actually in 2009 an investment to build a new fi re water tank was made - TK4504. This new water tank allows the storage of more recycled water from the WWTP. MATOSINHOS REFINERY / DATA BOOK ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT 2011 This chapter presents information and indicators concerning Matosinhos refi nery’s environmental performance, including compliance with IPPC Directive and further best practices. These indicators are presented both in absolute and normalized terms, ie, disregarding scale effects arising from different levels of activity intensity. Indeed, the level of activity in the installation inevitably infers absolute assessment indicators, sometimes without the absolute evolution providing a good picture of the progress and performance of the facility. Moreover, standardized indicators ensure also a comparison of the refi nery’s performance with its european peers within the same reference sector. The reuse of treated water from the WWTP enables to decrease markedly the use of make-up fresh water and reduce the volume of treated water sent to the receiving environment, the sea. The chart below shows the evolution of water consumption by level of activity. Water consumption by level of activity (m 3/ton) 2007 2008 0.60 2009 0.66 2010 0.66 2011 0.64 In 2011, despite the refi nery having operated at a higher level of activity than in 2010 and given the increase of complexity of processing raw materials, there was a decrease in water consumption, a fact that refl ects a better effi ciency in the management of water resources and which resulted in a decrease of 2% in the indicator of water consumption by level of activity in the previous year. Energy consumption Indicators of energy consumption consider fuel and electricity consumption. Fuels consumed in the refi nery are the Residual fuel oil (known as RFO) and gas, a mixture of fuel gas enriched with natural gas. This allows an increased amount of gas available for consumption, making it possible to reduce consumption of a less clean fuel, as the RFO. Matosinhos refi nery has progressively privileged consumption of clean fuels. 0.76

RFO consumpution (10 3 ton) 2007 2008 Pollutant atmospheric emissions relevant in terms of environmental air quality are described in this chapter. 04 Sulphur oxides The graph below shows the absolute emissions of sulfur oxides, represented on the basis of equivalent sulfur dioxide, SO 2 . 05 2009 158 2010 115 2011 102 Gas consumption (10 3 ton) 2007 2008 7.2 Atmospheric emissions SO 2 emissions (10 3 t) 2007 2008 99 2009 4.05 2010 3.51 2011 3.39 141 11% decrease 2009 134 2010 143 31% increase 2011 188 5.96 3% decrease 06 211 218 9.89 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 08 09 10 11 Since the entry of natural gas into the refi nery’s fuel pool, in 2008, it has been observed a signifi cant decrease in the consumption of RFO, as it may be verifi ed in the charts. In 2011, RFO consumption has decreased about 11% compared to consumption during the year 2010. This decrease is due in part to natural gas increased consumption in 2011 which was 79,064 tons, compared to 45,338 tons consumed in 2010. As far as electricity is concerned, the refi nery sells or acquires electricity from the city network depending on whether there is surplus or shortage. The following graph shows the electricity produced and consumed. Electricity (10 3 toe) 1 MWh = 0,29 toe 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 The graph below shows absolute emissions based on the level of activity: SO 2 emission by level of activity (kg/ton) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Electricity consumed Electricity produced 0.99 0.92 0.88 1.23 2.59 Sulfur is a natural component of crude oil. During the refi ning process it is possible to recover a great part of this element, but a residual portion is retained in refi ned products. When these are used as fuel, sulphur is released into the atmosphere. MATOSINHOS REFINERY / DATA BOOK ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT 2011 42 41 45 46 52 54 56 59 66 65 33 07
