Other Manufacturing in Israel. Approximate location 31.02718, 34.81849.

Other ManufacturingIsraelCO₂ estimate (modelled)

Mount Shahar - Asphalt is an other manufacturing in Israel. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control. It emits about 4,039 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE, roughly comparable to the annual emissions of 941 passenger cars.

In context: how this facility compares

Subsector: other-manufacturing. As other manufacturing, it requires high process heat (typically 100–600°C) for its core industrial operations — heat that must be supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion, and losses through uninsulated vessels and piping represent wasted fuel. Removable modular insulation can cut those losses by 80–96%, surface-cooling equipment to ≤45°C, with payback often under 2 years. Heavy manufacturing facilities run a range of heat-intensive processes (rubber, plastics, pressure vessels); maintaining process heat efficiently is critical to cost control.

Carbon cost, Scope 1 & decarbonization potential

At its reported 4k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Mount Shahar - Asphalt carries no domestic carbon price; other manufacturings are not a CBAM-covered good, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €304k/yr. The fastest decarbonization lever is energy efficiency: eliminating heat loss on hot equipment (removable insulation, steam & waste-heat recovery) typically cuts 2–5% of fuel-related CO₂ — here ≈81 t–202 t/yr, worth €6k€15k, with payback up to 2 years. No domestic carbon price — but cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer and hydrogen exported to the EU face CBAM at €75/t (rising to 100% by 2034).

Local climate

Mount Shahar - Asphalt sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate zone (Köppen BSh), at 31.0°N in the northern hemisphere.

Site climate & environmental severity

The local climate sets how fast unprotected steel, protective coatings and the insulation on hot process equipment degrade at this site. It sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.

In this site’s local climate, a bare 150 °C surface sheds about 1314 W/m² to ambient — roughly 1.01× the loss at a 20 °C reference; removable insulation recovers about 1248 W/m² of that. Reference-surface calculation at a 150 °C surface from WorldClim climate normals (ASTM C680 / ISO 12241) — an indicative per-climate comparison, not a measurement of this site’s specific equipment. Open method dataset: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20787408 (CC BY 4.0).

Higher environmental severity is exactly where protective removable insulation pays back most: a sheltered micro-climate slows corrosion, UV and thermal-cycling damage and extends outdoor hardware service life. This is an indicative site-climate context — not a condition assessment of any specific plant or operator.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.

Heat loss & insulation profile

For a other manufacturing, the main modular-insulation targets are process heaters, ovens, steam lines, hot-water systems, valves & flanges. Typical hot-surface ranges used for screening: 80–300 °C.

Indicative recoverable energy

A first-pass insulation screen suggests about 900 MWh/year of recoverable heat-loss reduction and about 180 t CO₂e/year of avoided emissions. Screening estimate scaled from installed process-heat projects and surface-temperature reduction data.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Start with a thermal survey of valves, flanges, doors and bends. Removable modular insulation keeps maintenance access open while lowering exposed-surface temperature and wasted heat.
