Cement PlantNamibiaCO₂ reported

Tsobis Cement Plant is a cement plant in Namibia with a reported capacity of 1,000,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Ohorongo Cement Pty Ltd. It emits about 417,758 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 97,379 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median cement plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,000,000 t of cement، يكون Tsobis Cement Plant حوالي متوسط cement plant في Namibia (1,000,000 t of cement). 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.
