Smurfit Kappa Nervión Pulp Mill

Smurfit Kappa Nervión Pulp Mill is a pulp & paper mill in Spain with a reported capacity of 325,000 t of pulp & paper. It turns wood or recovered fibre into pulp and paper, with large steam and drying loads. By capacity it ranks #3 of 3 pulp & paper mills tracked in Spain. It emits about 99,615 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 23,220 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 43% below the median pulp & paper mill.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在325,000 t of pulp & paper时，Smurfit Kappa Nervión Pulp Mill是Spain中pulp & paper mill的中位数低于 515,000 t of pulp & paper。 子部门：pulp-and-paper。 作为pulp & paper mill，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常150–250°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。 纸浆和造纸厂为制浆工艺和纸张干燥机发电自己的蒸汽，运行大型锅炉系统，其中热损失直接降低效率。

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。
