LyondellBasell Industries NV (LYB) said a temporary power outage at its Houston refinery over the weekend caused emissions Sunday and Monday.

"As a result of loss of electricity from out third party supplier, the refinery experienced a temporary interruption in electrical power," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. "Refinery immediately implemented emergency loss of power procedures."

It said the emissions began Sunday morning and ended Monday morning.

The 2640,000-barrel-a-day refinery is located along the Houston Ship Channel.
