Metals PlantSpainCO₂ reported

FERROATLANTICA DE BOO is a non-ferrous metals plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #7 of 9 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 122,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 28,438 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 165% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist FERROATLANTICA DE BOO etwa um dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant in Spain (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 16% 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.
