PetrochemicalJapanCO₂ reported
Keiyo Ethylene , Ichihara, Chiba is a petrochemical in Japan with a reported capacity of 690,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Sumitomo Chemical Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 12 petrochemical plants tracked in Japan. It emits about 970,117 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 226,134 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 5% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731952.
À 690,000 t of ethylene, Keiyo Ethylene , Ichihara, Chiba est bien au-dessus de la médiane des petrochemical en Japan (493,000 t of ethylene). Sous-secteur: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Comme petrochemical, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 300–800°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les usines pétrochimiques craquent les hydrocarbures à des températures très élevées pour produire l'éthylène, le propylène et d'autres produits chimiques de base — l'un des processus industriels les plus intensifs en chaleur.
