US DOE Y-12 National Security Complex

US DOE Y-12 National Security Complex is an other manufacturing in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It runs heavy manufacturing processes (rubber, plastics and allied products). By capacity it ranks #125 of 338 manufacturing plants tracked in United States. It emits about 43,815 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 10,213 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 39% above the median other manufacturing.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3194348.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1 unitless, US DOE Y-12 National Security Complex est autour de la médiane des other manufacturing en United States (1 unitless). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 26% au-dessus de la médiane des other manufacturing. Sous-secteur: other-manufacturing. Comme other manufacturing, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 100–600°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 installations de fabrication lourde conduisent une variété de processus intensifs en chaleur (caoutchouc, plastiques, récipients sous pression); maintenir la chaleur de procédé efficacement est critique pour la maîtrise des coûts.
