Korea Building Materials Chonnae Cement Plant

Korea Building Materials Chonnae Cement Plant is a cement plant in North Korea with a reported capacity of 1,200,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Ministry of Construction and Building-Materials Industry (North Korea). By capacity it ranks #8 of 10 cement plants tracked in North Korea. It emits about 667,233 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 155,532 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,200,000 t of cement، يكون Korea Building Materials Chonnae Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في North Korea (1,439,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 41% أعلى من متوسط cement plant. 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.

مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
