CERTAINTEED GYPSUM NASHVILLE

CERTAINTEED GYPSUM NASHVILLE is a non-ferrous metals plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #129 of 330 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in United States. It emits about 47,752 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,131 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673227.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 1 unitless, CERTAINTEED GYPSUM NASHVILLE está alrededor de la mediana de non-ferrous metals plant en United States (1 unitless). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 28% por encima de la mediana de non-ferrous metals plant. Subsector: other-metals. Como non-ferrous metals plant, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 400–1200°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas de metales no ferrosos funden, refinan y cuelan metales en hornos y crisoles por encima de sus puntos de fusión; las pérdidas de transferencias sin aislar y recipientes de retención son significativas.
