VSC

VSC is a non-ferrous metals plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #4 of 9 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 48,766 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,367 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 6% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

1 unitlessで、VSCはCanadaのnon-ferrous metals plantの中央値約 1 unitlessです。 容量あたりのCO₂は、non-ferrous metals plantの中央値上約432%です。 サブセクター：other-metals。 non-ferrous metals 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400–1200°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。 非鉄金属工場は、融点以上の炉および坩堝で金属を溶融、精製および鋳造します。未断熱転送および保有容器からの損失は重要です。

容量およびCO₂強度の比較はClimate TRACEの産業施設データから計算されました。セクターの役割は工学リファレンスに基づいています。
