Steel PlantIndiaCO₂ reported

SAIL Rourkela steel plant is a steel plant in India with a reported capacity of 4,200,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Steel Authority of India Ltd. By capacity it ranks #12 of 61 steel plants tracked in India. It emits about 5,992,099 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,396,760 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 164% above the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 4,200,000 t of steel، يكون SAIL Rourkela steel plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط steel plant في India (950,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 9% أقل 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.
