Aluminium Smelter in Mozambique. Approximate location -25.9155, 32.40831.
Aluminium SmelterMozambiqueCO₂ reported
Maputo aluminium plant is an aluminium smelter in Mozambique with a reported capacity of 575,000 t of alumina/aluminum. It smelts alumina into primary aluminium by high-current electrolysis. It is operated by South32 Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 aluminium smelters tracked in Mozambique. It emits about 1,272,345 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 296,584 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 6% above the median aluminium smelter.

На мощности 575,000 t of alumina/aluminum Maputo aluminium plant — это примерно медианная aluminium smelter в Mozambique (575,000 t of alumina/aluminum). Подсектор: aluminum. Как aluminium smelter, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 600–900°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. Алюминиевые плавильни используют большие электрические токи для рафинирования глинозёма в расплавленный алюминий выше 900°C, и расплавленный металл должен течь через тигли и литейное оборудование.
Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
