ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih steel plant

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih steel plant is a steel plant in Ukraine with a reported capacity of 6,498,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih PJSC. By capacity it ranks #1 of 10 steel plants tracked in Ukraine. It emits about 4,527,346 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,055,325 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 29% above the median steel plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 6,498,000 t of steel ist ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih steel plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von steel plant in Ukraine (3,300,000 t of steel). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 14% 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.
