Lime PlantItalyCO₂ reported

Piasco Lime is a lime plant in Italy with a reported capacity of 192,058 t of lime. It calcines limestone into quicklime in high-temperature kilns. By capacity it ranks #13 of 24 lime plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 179,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 41,735 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% above the median lime plant.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 192,058 t of lime Piasco Lime — это примерно медианная lime plant в Italy (192,058 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.
