У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,450,000 t of cement Maceirla-Liz Cement Plant — це нижче медіана cement plant у Portugal (2,000,000 t of cement). 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.
