Steel PlantGuatemalaCO₂ reported
AG Sidegua Masagua steel plant is a steel plant in Guatemala with a reported capacity of 500,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Corporación AG SA. It emits about 19,957 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 4,652 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 93% below the median steel plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1566832.
Bei 500,000 t of steel ist AG Sidegua Masagua steel plant etwa um dem Medianwert von steel plant in Guatemala (500,000 t of steel). Untersektor: iron-and-steel. Als steel plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1500°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Stahlwerke verbrennen Kohle in Hochöfen oder nutzen Lichtbogenöfen zum Schmelzen von Schrott; in beiden Fällen muss das geschmolzene Metall über 1.500°C gehalten und durch umfangreiche heiße Rohrleitungen und Behälter geleitet werden.
