Steel PlantSpainCO₂ reported

ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant is a steel plant in Spain with a reported capacity of 4,200,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ArcelorMittal España SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 14 steel plants tracked in Spain. It emits about 3,891,500 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 907,110 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 72% above the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 4,200,000 t of steel، يكون ArcelorMittal Asturias (Aviles) steel plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط steel plant في Spain (1,200,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 1683% أعلى من متوسط steel plant. القطاع الفرعي: iron-and-steel. كـ steel plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 800–1500°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. تحرق مصانع الصلب الفحم في الأفران العالية أو تستخدم الأقواس الكهربائية لصهر الخردة؛ في كلا الحالتين يجب الاحتفاظ بالمعدن المذاب فوق 1,500°C ونقله عبر الأنابيب والحاويات الساخنة الواسعة.

مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
