Cement PlantSwitzerlandCO₂ reported

Pery La Heutte Cement Plant is a cement plant in Switzerland with a reported capacity of 900,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Holcim (Schweiz) AG. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 cement plants tracked in Switzerland. It emits about 215,365 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 50,202 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 34% below the median cement plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 900,000 t of cement ist Pery La Heutte Cement Plant etwa um dem Medianwert von cement plant in Switzerland (800,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 23% unter dem Medianwert von cement plant. Untersektor: cement. Als cement plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1400°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. Zementanlagen erhitzen Kalkstein auf 1.400°C in Drehrohröfen — einer der heißesten Industrieprozesse — und müssen die Temperatur über die gesamte Ofenlänge präzise kontrollieren.
