У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,050,000 t of ethylene Braskem SA , Coatzacoalcos,Veracruz — це значно вище медіана petrochemical у Mexico (690,000 t of ethylene). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 462% вище медіани petrochemical. Підсектор: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Як petrochemical, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 300–800°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Нафтохімічні заводи крекують вуглеводні при дуже високих температурах для виробництва етилену, пропілену та інших базових хімікатів — один із найбільш теплоємних промислових процесів.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
