Jose Methanol

Jose Methanol is a chemical plant in Venezuela with a reported capacity of 1,600,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by METOR SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 chemical plants tracked in Venezuela. It emits about 534,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 124,476 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-45257116.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在1,600,000 t of chemical时，Jose Methanol是Venezuela中chemical plant的中位数约 1,600,000 t of chemical。 子部门：chemicals。 作为chemical plant，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常100–500°C）来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量，通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%，将表面冷却至≤45°C，投资回收期通常不到2年。 化学厂生产范围广泛的工业和专用化学品，许多需要精确的温度控制和持续的热输入来进行反应和分离。

容量和CO₂强度比较从Climate TRACE工业设施数据计算得出；部门角色基于工程参考。
