Cement PlantAfghanistanCO₂ reported

Jabal Saraj Cement Plant is a cement plant in Afghanistan with a reported capacity of 300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Jabal Saraj Cement. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 cement plants tracked in Afghanistan. It emits about 254,040 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 59,217 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 135% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 300,000 t of cement، يكون Jabal Saraj Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Afghanistan (150,000 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.
