Cement PlantCosta RicaCO₂ reported
Quebrada Honda Cement Plant is a cement plant in Costa Rica with a reported capacity of 900,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Cementos Progreso SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 cement plants tracked in Costa Rica. It emits about 271,857 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 63,370 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32438297.
عند 900,000 t of cement، يكون Quebrada Honda Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Costa Rica (1,100,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 25% أقل 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.
