Aluminium Norf GmbH

Aluminium Norf GmbH is a non-ferrous metals plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #9 of 10 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 151,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 35,198 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 229% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673194.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 1 unitless, Aluminium Norf GmbH è attorno a la mediana di non-ferrous metals plant in Germany (1 unitless). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 32% al di sotto di la mediana di non-ferrous metals plant. Sottosettore: other-metals. Come non-ferrous metals plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 400–1200°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti di metalli non ferrosi fondono, raffinano e colano metalli in forni e crogioli sopra i loro punti di fusione; le perdite dai trasferimenti non isolati e dai recipienti di stoccaggio sono significative.
