FERROPEM

FERROPEM is a non-ferrous metals plant in France with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #9 of 19 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in France. It emits about 234,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 54,545 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 409% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3673302.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 1 unitless, FERROPEM é em torno de a mediana de non-ferrous metals plant em France (1 unitless). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 8% acima de a mediana de non-ferrous metals plant. Subsetor: other-metals. Como non-ferrous metals plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 400–1200°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 metais não ferrosos fundem, refinam e funderm metais em fornos e cadinhos acima de seus pontos de fusão; as perdas de transferências não isoladas e vasos de retenção são significativas.
