Steel PlantSouth AfricaCO₂ reported
ArcelorMittal Newcastle Steel Works is a steel plant in South Africa with a reported capacity of 1,899,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ArcelorMittal South Africa Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 steel plants tracked in South Africa. It emits about 2,351,963 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 548,243 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 129% above the median steel plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1567184.
عند 1,899,000 t of steel، يكون ArcelorMittal Newcastle Steel Works حوالي متوسط steel plant في South Africa (1,899,000 t of steel). 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.
