PetrochemicalJapanCO₂ reported
Mitsubishi Chemical Kashima, Kashima (Unit 2) is a petrochemical in Japan with a reported capacity of 485,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. By capacity it ranks #8 of 12 petrochemical plants tracked in Japan. It emits about 681,894 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 158,950 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 5% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731954.
عند 485,000 t of ethylene، يكون Mitsubishi Chemical Kashima, Kashima (Unit 2) حوالي متوسط petrochemical في Japan (493,000 t of ethylene). القطاع الفرعي: petrochemical-steam-cracking. كـ petrochemical، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 300–800°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 مصافي البتروكيماويات بتكسير الهيدروكربونات عند درجات حرارة عالية جداً لإنتاج الإثيلين والبروبيلين والمواد الكيميائية الأساسية الأخرى — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية كثافة في الحرارة.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
