Metals PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Owens Corning is a non-ferrous metals plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. By capacity it ranks #210 of 330 non-ferrous metals plants tracked in United States. It emits about 29,026 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 6,766 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 37% below the median non-ferrous metals plant.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1 unitless Owens Corning — це приблизно медіана non-ferrous metals plant у United States (1 unitless). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 22% нижче медіани non-ferrous metals plant. Підсектор: other-metals. Як non-ferrous metals plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 400–1200°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. Заводи кольорової металургії плавлять, рафінують та відливають метали у печах і тиглях вище їхніх температур плавлення; втрати від неізольованих переводів та утримуючих судин значні.
