BRASKEM AMERICA NEAL PLANT

BRASKEM AMERICA NEAL PLANT is an other manufacturing in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It runs heavy manufacturing processes (rubber, plastics and allied products). By capacity it ranks #214 of 338 manufacturing plants tracked in United States. It emits about 27,893 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 6,502 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% below the median other manufacturing.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3192681.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist BRASKEM AMERICA NEAL PLANT etwa um dem Medianwert von other manufacturing in United States (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 20% unter dem Medianwert von other manufacturing. Untersektor: other-manufacturing. Als other manufacturing benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 100–600°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. Schwelastfabriken führen eine Vielzahl von wärmeintensiiven Prozessen durch (Gummi, Kunststoffe, Druckbehälter); Prozesswärme effizient zu halten ist für Kostenkontrolle kritisch.
