Steel PlantBrazilCO₂ reported
Gerdau São Paulo Araçariguama steel plant is a steel plant in Brazil with a reported capacity of 950,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Gerdau Acos Longos SA. By capacity it ranks #12 of 22 steel plants tracked in Brazil. It emits about 199,599 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 46,527 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 61% below the median steel plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1566460.
عند 950,000 t of steel، يكون Gerdau São Paulo Araçariguama steel plant حوالي متوسط steel plant في Brazil (1,000,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 63% 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.
