في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,100,000 t of steel، يكون ArcelorMittal Juiz de Fora steel plant حوالي متوسط steel plant في Brazil (1,000,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 64% أقل 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.
