Lime PlantNorwayCO₂ reported

Norfrakalk is a lime plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 54,463 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 lime plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 167,177 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,969 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 366% above the median lime plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 54,463 t of lime Norfrakalk — это примерно медианная lime plant в Norway (45,005 t of lime). Подсектор: lime. Как lime plant, 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. Известковые заводы прокаливают известняк в горячих печах при 800–900°C, и горячую негашёную известь необходимо обрабатывать в изолированных сосудах, чтобы предотвратить реакцию с влагой.

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