Baoji (Fengxiang) Methanol

Baoji (Fengxiang) Methanol is a chemical plant in China with a reported capacity of 600,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Xuzhou Mining (Group) Xinjiang Tianshan Mining Industry Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #64 of 157 chemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 1,708,800 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 398,322 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 100% below the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257039.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 600,000 t of chemical ist Baoji (Fengxiang) Methanol etwa um dem Medianwert von chemical plant in China (483,735 t of chemical). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 6% über dem Medianwert von chemical plant. Untersektor: chemicals. Als chemical plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 100–500°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. Chemieanlagen erzeugen eine breite Palette von Industrie- und Spezialchemikalien, viele erfordern präzise Temperaturkontrolle und nachhaltigen Wärmeeintrag für Reaktionen und Trennungen.
