By capacity it ranks #3 of 30 food & beverage plants tracked in Portugal. It emits about 776,824 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 181,078 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 354% above the median food & beverage plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38480818.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 2,102,407,771 USD ist Sugal - Alimentos, Sa (Ci) deutlich über dem Medianwert von food & beverage plant in Portugal (367,740,741 USD). Untersektor: food-beverage-tobacco. Als food & beverage plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 80–200°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. Lebens- und Genussmittelbetriebe nutzen Dampfkessel, Kochgeräte, Pasteurisiergeräte und Trockner, die kontinuierlich laufen; Wärmeverlust aus ungedämmten Rohrleitungen und Behältern reduziert Durchsatz und Effizienz direkt.
