Cement PlantGermanyCO₂ reported

Otterbein Cement Plant is a cement plant in Germany with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Zement- und Kalkwerke Otterbein GmbH & Co KG. By capacity it ranks #28 of 32 cement plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 173,486 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 40,440 cars.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 500,000 t of cement، يكون Otterbein Cement Plant أقل من متوسط cement plant في Germany (1,000,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 9% 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.
