Steel PlantNorth KoreaCO₂ reported
Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex steel plant is a steel plant in North Korea with a reported capacity of 6,000,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Government of North Korea. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 steel plants tracked in North Korea. It emits about 8,508,209 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,983,266 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 162% above the median steel plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32440878.
عند 6,000,000 t of steel، يكون Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex steel plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط steel plant في North Korea (2,000,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 18% 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.
