İDÇ Izdemir Aliaga steel plant

İDÇ Izdemir Aliaga steel plant is a steel plant in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 2,329,235 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Izmir Demir Celik Sanayi AŞ. By capacity it ranks #9 of 26 steel plants tracked in Türkiye. It emits about 174,605 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 40,700 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 86% below the median steel plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 2,329,235 t of steel ist İDÇ Izdemir Aliaga steel plant deutlich über dem Medianwert von steel plant in Türkiye (1,400,000 t of steel). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 20% unter 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.
