Compressed air is the most expensive utility per delivered joule: ~90% of input power becomes heat, and leak rates of 20–40% are routine without a programme.
| Metric | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Abatement cost | ≈€-10–15/t CO2 | |
| Addresses | 20–40% of CA energy | of relevant emissions |
| Typical payback | <2 yr | |
| Carbon value at full price | €80.01/t avoided | EUA July 13, 2026 |
Sequence: leak survey (ultrasonic) → pressure reduction (each 1 bar ≈ 7% energy) → eliminate inappropriate uses → heat recovery from compressors (70%+ of input recoverable as 70–90 °C water). The last one is a heat-supply measure hiding in the electrical room.
Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes Inzonex Modular Insulation — snap-fastened modules engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:
Every tonne you stop emitting is a tonne you don't have to report: cutting heat loss is a measurable, auditable Scope 1 reduction that flows straight into EU ETS, CBAM and your ESG / CSRD disclosures — not an offset, an actual emission cut.
