About MiRO:
MiRO moves and warms with “refined” products:
Statistically speaking, every third liter of gasoline at German pumps comes from Karlsruhe – Germany’s largest refinery. The 1,100 employees of Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein (MiRO) refine crude oil from the four shareholders into petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil, bitumen, and feedstocks for the chemical industry. Fourteen million tons of crude oil are processed each year – 500 liters every second. MiRO covers the fuel and heating oil needs of around 10 million consumers, making it the most important source of energy from mineral oil in the southwest. The refinery also feeds process waste heat into the city’s district heating network, providing comfortable warmth for thousands of households. MiRO sees itself as a partner in the energy transition. With projects such as district heating, the refinery is already making an active contribution to achieving climate targets. As one of the largest employers in Karlsruhe, an “excellent” training company, taxpayer, and client, MiRO strengthens the economic power of the Karlsruhe Technology Region.
