Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist Aurubis AG etwa um dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant in Germany (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 26% unter dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant. Untersektor: other-metals. Als non-ferrous metals plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 400–1200°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Nichteisenmetallwerke schmelzen, raffinieren und gießen Metalle in Öfen und Tiegeln über ihren Schmelzpunkten; Verluste aus ungedämmten Transfers und Lagerbehältern sind erheblich.
