В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1 unitless Great Lakes Castings LLC — это примерно медианная non-ferrous metals plant в United States (1 unitless). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 48% ниже медианной non-ferrous metals plant. Подсектор: other-metals. Как non-ferrous metals plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 400–1200°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Заводы цветной металлургии плавят, рафинируют и отливают металлы в печах и тиглях выше их температур плавления; потери от неизолированных переводов и удерживающих сосудов значительны.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
