Cement PlantAustriaCO₂ reported

Gmunden Cement Plant is a cement plant in Austria with a reported capacity of 800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Rohrdorfer Zement GmbH. By capacity it ranks #3 of 8 cement plants tracked in Austria. It emits about 286,642 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,816 cars.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 800,000 t of cement Gmunden Cement Plant — це значно вище медіана cement plant у Austria (625,000 t of cement). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 7% вище медіани cement plant. Підсектор: cement. Як cement plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 800–1400°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. Цементні заводи нагрівають вапняк до 1400°C у обертових печах — один із найгарячіших промислових процесів — і повинні точно контролювати температуру по всій довжині печі.

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