Cement PlantMoroccoCO₂ reported

Tetouan Cement Plant is a cement plant in Morocco with a reported capacity of 2,500,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by LafargeHolcim Maroc SA. By capacity it ranks #2 of 14 cement plants tracked in Morocco. It emits about 240,708 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 56,109 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 73% below the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 2,500,000 t of cement، يكون Tetouan Cement Plant أعلى بكثير من متوسط cement plant في Morocco (1,600,000 t of cement). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 69% 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.
