Aluminium SmelterGreeceCO₂ reported

Central Greece Region is an aluminium smelter in Greece with a reported capacity of 8,697 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 aluminium smelters tracked in Greece. It emits about 12,315 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 2,871 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% below the median aluminium smelter.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 8,697 t of alumina/aluminum, Central Greece Region jest poniżej medianę aluminium smelter w Greece (190,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 35% poniżej medianę aluminium smelter. Podsektor: aluminum. Jako aluminium smelter, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 600–900°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 aluminium używają dużych prądów elektrycznych do rafinacji tlenku glinu w stopiony aluminium powyżej 900°C, a metal w stanie gorącym musi płynąć przez tygle i urządzenia do odlewania.
