Lime PlantItalyCO₂ reported

Lime Kiln is a lime plant in Italy with a reported capacity of 192,058 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #10 of 24 lime plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 179,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 41,735 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% above the median lime plant.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 192,058 t of lime, Lime Kiln est autour de la médiane des lime plant en Italy (192,058 t of lime). Sous-secteur: lime. Comme lime plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 600–900°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 chaufourneries calcinent le calcaire dans des fours chauds à 800–900°C, et la chaux vive chaude doit être manipulée dans des récipients isolés pour prévenir la réaction avec l'humidité.
