ArcelorMittal Dąbrowa Górnicza steel plant

ArcelorMittal Dąbrowa Górnicza steel plant is a steel plant in Poland with a reported capacity of 5,001,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ArcelorMittal Poland SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 6 steel plants tracked in Poland. It emits about 7,515,326 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,751,824 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 178% above the median steel plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1567002.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 5,001,000 t of steel ist ArcelorMittal Dąbrowa Górnicza steel plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von steel plant in Poland (900,000 t of steel). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 1672% über dem Medianwert von steel plant. 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.
