Steel PlantFinlandCO₂ reported

SSAB Raahe steel plant is a steel plant in Finland with a reported capacity of 2,600,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by SSAB AB. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 steel plants tracked in Finland. It emits about 3,845,396 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 896,363 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 174% above the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 2,600,000 t of steel، يكون SSAB Raahe steel plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط steel plant في Finland (1,200,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 1257% أعلى 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.
