Jiangsu Hongtai Iron and Steel Co Ltd

Jiangsu Hongtai Iron and Steel Co Ltd is a steel plant in China with a reported capacity of 1,576,000 t of steel. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace). It is operated by Jiangsu HONGTAI Metals Ware Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #209 of 363 steel plants tracked in China. It emits about 312,466 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 72,836 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 63% below the median steel plant.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1,576,000 t of steel ist Jiangsu Hongtai Iron and Steel Co Ltd unter dem Medianwert von steel plant in China (2,300,000 t of steel). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 84% 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.
