Trondheim Tjeldbergodden Methanol

Trondheim Tjeldbergodden Methanol is a chemical plant in Norway with a reported capacity of 900,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Equinor ASA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 chemical plants tracked in Norway. It emits about 300,375 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 70,017 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 100% below the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257198.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 900,000 t of chemical Trondheim Tjeldbergodden Methanol — это примерно медианная chemical plant в Norway (900,000 t of chemical). Подсектор: chemicals. Как chemical plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 100–500°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. Химические заводы производят широкий спектр промышленных и специальных химикатов, многие из которых требуют точного контроля температуры и постоянного теплоснабжения для реакций и разделений.

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