Cement PlantUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Roanoke Cement Plant is a cement plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1,300,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Titan America LLC. By capacity it ranks #32 of 86 cement plants tracked in United States. It emits about 567,654 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 132,320 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 21% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,300,000 t of cement، يكون Roanoke Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في United States (1,100,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 46% 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.
