Metals PlantGermanyCO₂ reported

Aurubis AG 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 #8 of 10 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 162,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 37,762 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 252% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1 unitless, Aurubis AG jest około medianę non-ferrous metals plant w Germany (1 unitless). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 27% poniżej medianę non-ferrous metals plant. Podsektor: other-metals. Jako non-ferrous metals plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 400–1200°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Huty metali nieżelaznych topią, rafinują i odlewają metale w piecach i tyglach powyżej ich punktów topnienia; straty z nieisolowanych transferów i zbiorników retencyjnych są znaczące.
