Cement PlantZambiaCO₂ reported
Scirocco Kafue Cement Plant is a cement plant in Zambia with a reported capacity of 910,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Scirocco Enterprises Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 6 cement plants tracked in Zambia. It emits about 307,824 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 71,754 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 6% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32439429.
Bei 910,000 t of cement ist Scirocco Kafue Cement Plant etwa um dem Medianwert von cement plant in Zambia (1,000,000 t of cement). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 6% unter dem Medianwert von cement plant. Untersektor: cement. Als cement plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 800–1400°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. Zementanlagen erhitzen Kalkstein auf 1.400°C in Drehrohröfen — einer der heißesten Industrieprozesse — und müssen die Temperatur über die gesamte Ofenlänge präzise kontrollieren.
