At least on the moon you won't lose any heat due to convection with an atmosphere. I imagine radiation and conduction heat loses could be minimized.

- fuoqi 6y agoIn space you have a reverse problem: it's difficult to dissipate heat. It's a bit easier to do on moon surface than on an orbital station, but regolith has a limited thermal conductivity, which could be insufficient for an industrial process releasing a lot of waste heat. For obvious reasons we can't simply build wet cooling towers as we usually do on Earth.
