Metals PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Sør-Norge Aluminium is a non-ferrous metals plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #17 of 21 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 142,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 33,100 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 209% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist Sør-Norge Aluminium etwa um dem Medianwert von non-ferrous metals plant in Norway (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 48% 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.
