COMILOG DUNKERQUE

COMILOG DUNKERQUE is a non-ferrous metals plant in France with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #19 of 19 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in France. It emits about 101,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 23,543 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 120% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673231.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 1 unitless, COMILOG DUNKERQUE está alrededor de la mediana de non-ferrous metals plant en France (1 unitless). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 53% por debajo 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.
