Cement PlantMexicoCO₂ reported

Tepeaca Cement Plant is a cement plant in Mexico with a reported capacity of 7,600,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by CEMEX SAB de CV. By capacity it ranks #1 of 35 cement plants tracked in Mexico. It emits about 2,772,979 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 646,382 cars.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 7,600,000 t of cement، يكون Tepeaca Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Mexico (1,300,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 36% 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.
