Metals PlantSwedenCO₂ reported
Kubikenborg Aluminium AB is a non-ferrous metals plant in Sweden with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Sweden. It emits about 183,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 42,657 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 298% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673405.
عند 1 unitless، يكون Kubikenborg Aluminium AB حوالي متوسط non-ferrous metals plant في Sweden (1 unitless). القطاع الفرعي: other-metals. كـ non-ferrous metals plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 400–1200°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصانع المعادن غير الحديدية بصهر وتحسين وصب المعادن في أفران وبواتق فوق نقاط انصهارها؛ الخسائر من النقل غير المعزول والحاويات الاحتفاظ كبيرة.

A non-ferrous metals plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: furnaces, ladles, heat-treatment ovens, ducting & valves (surface/process temperatures around 150–1,000 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 2,700 MWh/yr (≈ 540 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Obligation. Under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (Art. 8), large undertakings (>250 staff or >€50M turnover / >€43M balance) must run an energy audit every 4 years or operate a certified energy management system (ISO 50001).
Funding. National energy-efficiency grants and white-certificate schemes typically apply — check the local programme.
