Steel PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

CMC Arizona steel plant is a steel plant in United States with a reported capacity of 890,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Commercial Metals Co. By capacity it ranks #46 of 75 steel plants tracked in United States. It emits about 49,397 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,514 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 90% below the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 890,000 t of steel، يكون CMC Arizona steel plant حوالي متوسط steel plant في United States (1,000,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 50% 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.
