Cement PlantCanadaCO₂ reported

Exshaw Cement Plant is a cement plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 2,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Lafarge Canada Inc. By capacity it ranks #2 of 15 cement plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 901,178 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 210,065 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 2,200,000 t of cement، يكون Exshaw Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Canada (1,200,000 t of cement). القطاع الفرعي: cement. كـ cement plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 800–1400°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. تقوم مصانع الإسمنت بتسخين الحجر الجيري إلى 1,400°C في الأفران الدوارة — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية سخونة — ويجب التحكم في درجة الحرارة بدقة عبر طول الفرن كله.
