Cement PlantTürkiyeCO₂ reported
Altıeylül Cement Plant is a cement plant in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 2,323,750 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Limak Cimento Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ. By capacity it ranks #19 of 57 cement plants tracked in Türkiye. It emits about 481,286 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 112,188 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 42% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32439195.
عند 2,323,750 t of cement، يكون Altıeylül Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Türkiye (2,000,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 43% أقل من متوسط cement plant. القطاع الفرعي: cement. كـ cement plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 800–1400°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصانع الإسمنت بتسخين الحجر الجيري إلى 1,400°C في الأفران الدوارة — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية سخونة — ويجب التحكم في درجة الحرارة بدقة عبر طول الفرن كله.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.

A cement plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: rotary kiln shell, preheater tower, tertiary air duct & kiln hood, clinker-cooler ducts, valves (surface/process temperatures around 200–1,000 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
60% of cement CO2 is process calcination - NOT insulation-addressable; energy here is the fuel side only.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 11,000 MWh/yr (≈ 3,600 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.
See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →
Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Domestic energy-efficiency grants are limited here; industrial decarbonisation is mainly funded externally:
CBAM. Exporters of cement, steel, aluminium, fertiliser, hydrogen and electricity to the EU face the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — cutting embedded emissions (efficiency + insulation) lowers the levy.
Routed via national development banks / accredited entities — not a direct factory grant. Verified 2026.
