في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1 unitless، يكون US GYPSUM - NORFOLK PLANT حوالي متوسط non-ferrous metals plant في United States (1 unitless). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 82% أقل من متوسط non-ferrous metals plant. 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.
