Food & BeverageSwitzerlandCO₂ reported
Cremo Sa / Usine De Lucens is a food & beverage plant in Switzerland with a reported capacity of 275,834,413 USD. It processes food, beverages or tobacco — typically with boilers, cookers and dryers. By capacity it ranks #10 of 11 food & beverage plants tracked in Switzerland. It emits about 2,229 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 520 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38481103.
Com 275,834,413 USD, Cremo Sa / Usine De Lucens é abaixo de a mediana de food & beverage plant em Switzerland (6,856,185,078 USD). Subsetor: food-beverage-tobacco. Como food & beverage plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 80–200°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As plantas de alimentos e bebidas usam caldeiras, cozinhadores, pasteurizadores e secadores que funcionam continuamente; a perda de calor de tubulações e vasos não isolados reduz diretamente a vazão e eficiência.

A food & beverage plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: cookers & kettles, pasteurisers, CIP hot-water sets, dryers, steam lines, tanks, valves (surface/process temperatures around 70–200 °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.
very wide by site size; many bare low-temp surfaces (CIP, steam, pasteurisation) - often toward upper end.
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 600 MWh/yr (≈ 120 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:
