Steel PlantChinaCO₂ reported

Xinjiang Kunyu Iron and Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 750,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Xinjiang Kunyu Lron & Steel Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #285 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 1,130,658 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 263,557 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 179% above the median steel plant.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 750,000 t of steel، يكون Xinjiang Kunyu Iron and Steel Co Ltd أقل من متوسط steel plant في China (2,300,000 t of steel). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 18% 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.

مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
