Cement PlantGermanyCO₂ reported
Wossingen Cement Plant is a cement plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Opterra Wössingen GmbH. By capacity it ranks #24 of 32 cement plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 253,613 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 59,117 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 12% below the median cement plant.

À 800,000 t of cement, Wossingen Cement Plant est autour de la médiane des cement plant en Germany (1,000,000 t of cement). Sous-secteur: cement. Comme cement plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 800–1400°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 cimenteries chauffent le calcaire à 1.400°C dans des fours rotatifs — l'un des processus industriels les plus chauds — et doivent contrôler la température avec précision sur toute la longueur du four.
