Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported
Apazapan Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 2,750,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Corporación Moctezuma SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #4 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 617,655 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 143,976 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 38% below the median cement plant.

2,750,000 t of cementで、Apazapan Cement PlantはMexicoのcement plantの中央値はるかに上 1,300,000 t of cementです。 容量あたりのCO₂は、cement plantの中央値下約16%です。 サブセクター：cement。 cement plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常800–1400°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 セメント工場は回転キルンでセメント石を1,400°Cに加熱します。最も高温の産業プロセスの1つであり、キルン全体の温度を正確に制御する必要があります。

A cement plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: rotary kiln shell, preheater tower, tertiary air duct & kiln hood, clinker-cooler ducts, valves (surface/process temperatures around 200–1,000 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
60% of cement CO2 is process calcination - NOT insulation-addressable; energy here is the fuel side only.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 12,000 MWh/yr (≈ 4,000 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Domestic energy-efficiency grants are limited here; industrial decarbonisation is mainly funded externally:
CBAM. Exporters of cement, steel, aluminium, fertiliser, hydrogen and electricity to the EU face the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — cutting embedded emissions (efficiency + insulation) lowers the levy.
Routed via national development banks / accredited entities — not a direct factory grant. Verified 2026.
