Steel PlantPolandCO₂ reported

CMC Zawiercie steel plant is a steel plant in Poland with a reported capacity of 1,700,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by CMC Poland SP zoo. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 steel plants tracked in Poland. It emits about 165,261 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 38,522 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 82% below the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,700,000 t of steel، يكون CMC Zawiercie steel plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط steel plant في Poland (900,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 15% 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.
